I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

Life has brought me to my knees

I didn’t know who to please

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been weak

Until I heard God speak

I’ve endured pain

Been unable to see what I could gain

I used to cry

Without understanding why

I’ve lived in fear

Without knowing who was near

I searched the mirrors of my mind

To see what I could find

It almost became too much to bare

But God was there

After all I’ve been through

Some praise is due

Cause I’ve made my mark

And I’ve come out of the dark
