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

(chorus)
C(cut)    C                A/C                 Am
He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
        F                          Dm
and the hill would not be hard to climb.
         G                         F  
He never offered a victory without fighting.
        Dm                G       C
He said help would always come in time.
                     A/C             Am          
Remember when you're standing in the valley of decision
        F                  Dm       G
and the advisary says give in, hold on.
              F(cut)     F
Our Lord will show up 
            Dm                   G     C
and He will take you through the fire again

(Bridge)
Am                        F
I know within myself that I would surly perish
Am                                F                G
If I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flame again.
