Trusting in Him
Even Through a Trial of Fire





Through this little fire, I must walk.
Never fearing my adversary, knowing full well who is truly mocked.



Placing my full trust in God alone, I remember once again, who holds my soul in His hands.
Some days my enemy seems so large, yet I know in whom I must trust, whose love that forever stands.



Some days my tears fall like rain, some days my eyes are so dry, as through the fire He guides.
As I may stumble and fall, His love for me never hides-



Remembering over and over again His loving words I know it'll be okay, in the end.
Life it is not fair, yet I know it'll be worth it all in the end.



Coals of fire rain down on my enemy's head, yet I know for them I still must pray.
Praying for them that they may know who it is that makes the night to day.



Trusting and believing, I'll stand still, as it is all I can do.
My faith, my strength it is all I have, the night is long, but my Saviour's love is pure.



I am weak but He is strong, never failing He'll once again carry what I cannot.
I cry out to Him as my enemies rejoice seeing my trial of fire burn ever so hot.



Yet, I rejoice knowing whether I live or die, it is to His will my soul will comply.
Rejoicing ever more I know in whose mercy I trust, His mercy evermore to the sky.



Swiftly, I plead remember no more my iniquities, nor transgressions, lest my enemies triumph over me.
Shine thy light, blind those that say I've believed in vain, walk ever closer beside of me.




My Lord and my God let not my faith have been in vain.
Many are those who have railed against me, many are those who say my faith is of no worthy gain.



Dear God, remember me, as my faith some days is not so strong.
Hold me and encourage me, forgive me of those I've done wrong.



Help me dear Lord, as I walk along this narrow way.
My steps oft have slipped as I've seen many my oppressors triumph as a lie they've placed in my way.



Dear Lord, mercy I plead, as I've trusted forever more in the One who has already for my sins paid.
Though my sins are abundant, and scarlet, it is in His blood alone, I wade, knowing my debt it is paid.



My sins, though many, though secret and vain, all to Him my debt I gave.
Knowing full well my soul it was He came to save.




The night is long spent, the day is heavy, yet I know who carries the burden of my heart.
Longing for His will, knowing from this life we will soon part.



Yet I stumble and fall, trapped once again in a well devised snare.
My Saviour's blood once again, must cover what has been laid bare.



Turning around, I look into my Saviour's eyes, and see the tears He shed.
Crying for me, He died, knowing my debt, for me He bled.



My strength it is not my own, it is for His glory I must plead.
Asking deliverance from those who have entrapped and ensnared, for His mercy alone I heed.



My faith though weak, it is to Him I go.
For I know who holds all in His hands whither I live or no...
