Lyrics
(spoken)
Beloved
Think it not strange concerning the firey trial
Which is to try you as though some strange thing happened unto you
Rejoice
Your day is coming
One paycheck less from being homeless
No one knows the pressures that you wrestle with
Bills coming in no way to pay
Can’t take no more bad news today
Boss complainin’ with his drama
Family keep dumpin’ on ya’
Lord I don’t mean to complain
But how much more can I take
Trial by fire
How ya’ gonna handle it
Life on a high wire
Not the way you planned it
Only God can keep you sane
You gotta hold onto your faith
Contemplating permanent rest
But don’t you dare your script ain’t over yet
He will call when it’s your time
We gotta make it through this life
If ya’ gotta cry everyday just let it out
Even through the daily struggle He’s workin’ it out
Trials will make you better still
Strengthen you to do his will
Trial by fire
How ya’ gonna handle it
Life on a high wire
Not the way you planned it
Only God can keep you sane
You gotta hold onto your faith
(adlib)
You gotta hold onto your faith
Don’t let the world drive you crazy
Lift your hands in praise give thanks
Some got it worse than you babe
Remember to pray
He listens, everyday
Trial by fire
How ya’ gonna handle it
Life on a high wire
Not the way you planned it
Only God can keep you sane
You gotta hold onto your faith
Trial by fire
How ya’ gonna handle it
Life on a high wire
Not the way you planned it
Only God can keep you sane
You gotta hold onto your faith
