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

Never burn all your bridges. You never know which ones you may have to cross again.

In my life

There’s been heartache and pain

I’ve gone against the grain

I’ve felt alone

Until I met a man on a throne

I’ve lost my way

Until I began to pray

I’ve fallen and risen again

Faith has helped me win

In my life

I’ve struggled with doubt

Until God worked things out

I couldn’t see

What he had for me

I’ve been weak

Until I heard God speak

I finally recognized the love

Sent from heaven above

In my life

I’ve faced everything thrown in my path

Without unleashing my wrath

Everything is crystal clear

I hold my principles dear

It didn’t take me long

To see God keeps me strong

I see something grand

As I hold God’s hand

In my life

I see what’s true

And all God has brought me through

I let things flow

That helps me grow

I have dark moments for sure

But my heart is pure

Everything’s set in stone

God won’t leave me alone

My voice I’ll raise

In a song of praise

For everything in my life

When others attack you, it isn’t because you’re doing something wrong. It’s because you’re doing something right.
