I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve been down low

Until experience helped me grow

I’ve been the subject of scorn

Had my heart torn

While in despair

I found someone to care

He set me free

Taught me to be me

Thanks to the joy I’ve found

I’m on higher ground

I’ve cried my heart out

I’ve been full of doubt

I’ve been full of fear

Cause I didn’t know who was near

I didn’t think I’d last

Due to a difficult past

But God appeared one day

He showed me the way

Thanks to the joy I’ve found

I’m on higher ground

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I was left for dead

Didn’t know what lie ahead

But I finished my race

At my own pace

God saved my soul

He made me whole

Thanks to the joy I’ve found

I’m on higher ground
