through the fire

So many times I’ve questioned certain circumstances
Or things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustrations get so out of hand
It’s then I am reminded I’ve never been forsaken
I’ve never had to stand the 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

And He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered victory 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 hand of God, He’ll shield the flames again

And He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again

I was reading a blog of another mother who has suffer the grief of losing a child. This song came into my mind. I have sang it before but the words have never been so true. My lord did show up to walk me through the fire. I have never had to trust in him so much before. My faith is so much stronger. I will never understand how someone can get through such tragedy with out the hope and faith of my Lord and Savior. He is so real and I truely feel sorry for people who walk through this life without him. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Isn't it nice to be able to cast all our fears and emtions on our God. He's mending my broken heart and I'm so thankful to be a child of God.
