[Verse 1]
F                   C          Dm           C
So many times I’ve questioned certain circumstances
    Bb             F       Gm    C
Or things I could not understand
      C                                 
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
    Gm               C             F   C
And my frustrations get so out of hand
      F         C        Dm                C
It’s then I am reminded I’ve never been forsaken
      Bb           F              Gm   C
I’ve never had to stand the test alone
      C
As I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me
      Gm                  C                F     Bb  C  F
It’s through the fire my weakness is made strong

[Chorus]
F                                                       Bb                F       Gm   F Bb C
He never promised the cross would not get heavy or the hill would not be hard to climb
C                                                      Bb                C       F  Bb C
He never offered victory without fighting but He said help would always come in time
        F                                                             Bb        F        Gm
Just remember when you’re standing in the valley of decision and the adversary says give in
          C                                      Gm                   C    F
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again

[Bridge]
Dm                        Bb              F
I know within myself that I would surely perish
Dm                                   Bb                C
If I trust the hand of God, He will shield the flames again

[Chorus]
F                                                       Bb                F       Gm   F Bb C
He never promised the cross would not get heavy or the hill would not be hard to climb
C                                                      Bb                C       F  Bb C
He never offered victory without fighting but He said help would always come in time
        F                                                             Bb        F        Gm
Just remember when you’re standing in the valley of decision and the adversary says give in
          C                                      Gm                   C    F
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again
          C                                      Gm                   C    F
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again
