Songs of Praise!!!

***These are songs that my group, CrossView, sings or just songs that mean a lot to me. We only sing songs that lift up the name of Jesus Christ our Savior. I hope you can let the words minister to your heart even though there is no music.***

Through The Fire

(Gerald Crabb)

So many times I've questioned certain circumstances

Things I could not understand

Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision

Then my frustration gets 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

And it's through the fire my weakness is made strong

(chorus)

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy

And the hill would not be hard to climb

He never offered our victories 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

(bridge)

I know within myself that I would surely perish

But if I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flames again

(chorus)

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy

And the hill would not be hard to climb

He never offered our victories 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


*Dear Lord, please let me always remember that even when I can't see a reason for the things that happen and the burdens that I carry down here, that you are ALWAYS with me to lead me, to love me, and to help me make it through.  And when I feel like I'm drowning or I can't see my way out of the darkness, please just wrap me in your arms and keep me safe and sheltered.  I want to give you all the praise and thanks for being a constant friend and my father. Thank you Lord.*
