I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been scorned

Had my heart torn

I fall every once in a while

But I can still smile

I’ve gotten lost along the way

Learning was the price I had to pay

Faith was the key

It brings out the best in me

Whenever I get lonely

I call on God only

I get weak

But I gain strength whenever I hear Him speak

I grapple with doubt

But God always works things out

He dries my tears

And eases my fears

The road is long

But God keeps me strong

Yes, it’s true

I see what He brought me

During difficult days

I find room for praise

In a loud voice

I rejoice

Cause I’m still standing
