[Intro]
  

[Verse 1]
        
So many times 

            
I question cer

       
tain circumsta

nces
         
and things I c

             
ould not under


stand.

Many times in 

trials weaknes

s blurs my vis

ion
            
and my frustra

             
tion gets so o

      
ut of hand.
        
It's then I am

            
 reminded, I'v

        
e never been f

orsaken.
             
I've never had

          
 to stand one 

        
test alone.
       
When I look at

 all the victo

ries, the Spir

it rises up in

 me.
            
It's through t

             
he fire my wea

              
kness is made 

          
strong.

[Chorus]
             
He never promi

              
sed that the c

              
ross would not

    
 get heavy
             
and the hill w

          
ould not be ha

         
rd to climb.
         
He never offer

ed a victory w

ithout fightin

g.
             
He said help w

             
ould always co

       
me in time.
             
Remember when 

              
you're standin

              
g in the valle

   
y of decision
             
and the advers

          
ary says give 

       
in, hold on.
              
Our Lord will 

    
show up
            
and He will ta

              
ke you through

            
 the fire agai

[Bridge]
            
I know within 

              
myself that I 

            
would surely p

erish
            
If I trust the

              
 hand of God, 

             
He'll shield t

             
he flame again

  
. Again....

[Chorus w key change]
             
He never promi

              
sed that the c

              
ross would not

    
 get heavy
             
and the hill w

          
ould not be ha
