Out of the Fire

Out of the Fire

The very finest, purest gold,
Is tried by fire.
The very strongest, boldest soul;
Must fight desire.

Within the humble valley grows,
The tallest corn.
Out of a curse, and agony;
A child is born.

Though the mighty Eagle bounds,
Upon the heights,
A sweeter song sing the nightingale;
Who hides from light.

Though your soul is weary,
And your body spent.
Remember, out of love,
Our trials are sent.

I know the flame burns hotter,
Swept by the fan.
But through Christ, you'll rise victorious 
A better man.
