Lord, it is by many trials I learn life lessons best
You keep my feet from slipping when I’m going through a test
Help my faith to rise as I am living out each one
Refine my heart like gold as each fiery battle’s done

There is tremendous cost to each lesson that I learn
It cannot be paid by others or by money that I earn
Each sacrifice I go through, I will offer up to You
For You alone are worthy, all praise to You is due

Each trial that I go through conforms me to the likeness of Your Son
If Your word I heed, then each battle will be won
My faith will turn to sight when I receive heaven’s reward
The quality revealed when Your fire is outpoured

1 Corinthians 3:13-14 – “…. their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.”

Romans 8:29 – “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.”
