Roadblock

Lyrics I stepped ahead where I was led Left the comfort I once knew Rose before the morning sun To chase the power I never grew Opened Scripture, led my home Walked a road I’ve never known Pushed my body past the pain Tried to steward what I'd been shown But the moment that I moved ahead I hit that fear driven wall I dread Every step that faith demands Seems to meet resistance first This roadblock won’t stop my stride It’s the fire where my faith is tried Hammer falls, the iron bends God is shaping who I’ll become next Step by step, through the flame Pressure builds the man I’ll be What once looked like a wall to me Was the forge of victory Money tight, the numbers strain Plans collapse I thought were sound Muscles ache, the progress slow Storms of pressure all around Whispers say “just turn around” “Maybe this is not your road” But the Word says trials refine Every man who bears the load And the heat that feels like loss Is the forge that shapes the cross Pressure tests what faith has claimed Fire proves what words have named This roadblock won’t stop my stride It’s the fire where my faith is tried Hammer falls, the iron bends God is shaping who I’ll become next Step by step, through the flame Pressure builds the man I’ll be What once looked like a wall to me Was the forge of victory Count it joy when trials rise Strength is built where comfort dies Stand the test, don’t walk away Faith grows stronger in the flame Discipline may cut and sting But righteous fruit is what it brings The path grows firm beneath my feet Every time I don’t retreat This roadblock won’t stop my stride It’s the fire where my faith is tried Hammer falls, the iron bends God is shaping who I’ll become next Step by step, through the flame Pressure builds the man I’ll be What once looked like defeat to me Was the forge of victory Not blocked. Not broken. Just forged. Iron Path.
