[Verse 1]
D                A        Bm    D
So many times I question certain circumstances
     G                 D      Em
and things I could not understand.
A
Many times in trials weakness blurs my vision
    Em             A              D    A   D
and my frustration gets so out of hand.
D               A        Bm          D
It's then I am reminded, I've never been forsaken.
     D                       G          Em
I've never had to stand one test alone.
       A                          D     A
When I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me.
     Em                  A                D        Bm  A 
It's through the fire my weakness is made strong.

[Chorus]
D     D
He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
        G                 D         Em
and the hill would not be hard to climb.
         A       Em  A
He never offered a victory without fighting.
        G                A       D    G
He said help would always come in time.
     D                       G       D
Remember when you're standing in the valley of decision
        G         D     Em     A
and the advisary says give in, hold on.
              A      A
Our Lord will show up
            Em                   A     D      A  
and He will take you through the fire again

[Bridge]
Bm                        G             D
I know within myself that I would surly perish
Bm                                G                A
If I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flame again.
