On Meeting The Lions Head-On...

So many times I’ve questioned certain circumstances

And things I could not understand

Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision

Then my frustration gets so out of hand

Its then I am reminded I've never been forsaken

I've never had to stand one test alone

That's when I look at all the victories

And the spirit rises up in me

And its through the fire my weakness is made strong

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

I know within myself that I would surely perish

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