Trials Turned to Gold
[Verse 1]
He's brought me here where things are clear
And trials turn to gold
He shared with me His victory
He won in days of old
[Chorus 1]
Oh Lord, I don't deserve
The riches of Your word
But You've changed my filthy rags
To linen white as snow
[Verse 2]
The view from here is nothing near
To what it is for You
I tried to see Your plan for me
But I only acted like I knew
[Chorus 2]
Oh Lord, forgive the times
I tried to read Your mind
'Cause You said if I'd be still
Then I would hear Your voice
[Verse 3]
My Lord, my King, my urge to sing
And praise the things above
No words can say the glorious way
You changed me with Your love
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
He's brought me low so I could know
The way to reach the heights
To forsake my dreams, my self-esteem
And give up all my rights
[Chorus 3]
With each one that I lay down
A jewel's placed in my crown
'Cause His love, the things above
Is all we'll ever need
[Outro]
He's brought me here where things are clear
And trials turn to gold
