Patience grows when the storm rolls in, Endurance builds when you don't give in–Let patience work—don’t cut it short, So you'll be perfect, lacking naught–If you lack wisdom, go and ask, God gives freely, no holding back–But ask in faith, with no disguise, No doubting mind, no compromise–For he who doubts is tossed like the sea, No peace, no root, no guarantee. [Chorus] Oh, count it joy when the fire comes down, God is working, turning it around. Testing brings treasure, gold refined, Making me strong in heart and mind. Oh, blessed is the one who stands, Endures the heat and holds God’s hand. Crown of life is coming in view, Promised by God to the ones who stay true. [Verse 2] Let no one say when tempted, “It’s God,”--He don’t tempt with evil—don’t blame the rod. Each man’s pulled by his own desire–That gives birth to sin, then funeral fire–Don’t be deceived, my brothers, my kin–Every good gift comes from Him–From above, the Father of lights–No shadow turning, just truth and right–By His will, He gave us birth–Through the Word of truth, not of earth–First fruits of His mighty plan–Raised us up to stand again. [Bridge] Be quick to hear, and slow to speak–Slow to wrath, stay calm, stay meek–For anger won’t produce God’s way–So lay down sin, and humbly stay–Receive the Word that’s planted deep–Let it grow—don’t fall asleep–Be doers now, not just the crowd–Don’t just hear it—live it loud. [Verse 3] If you just hear but never act–You’re like a man who turns his back–Sees his face– then walks away–Forgets the truth by the end of day–But he who looks in freedom’s law–And does it too—without a flaw–That man’s blessed in all he’ll do–His life reflects the Word that’s true–If you think you're holy, yet your tongue runs wild–Your faith is fake—it’s just defiled–Pure religion, clean and bright–Is caring for the orphan’s fight—The widow’s tears, the helpless call–And keeping clean from the world’s dark fall. [Outro] So count it joy when trials rise high–Lift your hands and testify–God is shaping, purging through–Bringing forth a heart that’s new–Oh, blessed is the one who stands–Endures the heat and trusts His plans–Crown of life is shining bright–For those who walk in truth and light.
