He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time

So just remember when you're standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again

So many times I've questioned certain circumstances
Things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
Then my frustration gets so out of hand

But it's then I am reminded I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand the test alone, no
But when I look at all the victories
I'm reminded of all that God has done for me

Through the fire my weakness is made strong
Come on, let's sing

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time

Just remember when you're standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again

I know within myself
I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust by the hand of God
He'll shield the flames again, again

He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
The hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time

Just remember when you're standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, hold on, our Lord will show up
He will take you through the fire again

Just hold on, our Lord will show up
He will take you through the fire again, again
