Many times I’ve questioned certain circumstances
Of things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustrations get out of hand
It’s then I am reminded I’ve never been forsaken
I’ve never had to stand one test alone
As I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me
It’s through the fire my weakness is made strong

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when you’re standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says “Give in”
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again

I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust the mighty hand of God
He’ll shield the flames again

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when you’re standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says “Give in”
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again
