We are on a journey in a foreign land
Weary pilgrims trying to find our way
We really don't belong here, we're just passing through
We're all looking for a brighter day
One day we'll see Jesus, look upon His face
And when we stand before Him on that day
We will sing His praises, shout His name on high
And with the host of Heaven we will say.

(Chorus) Through the flame, through the fire
Through the storm, through the flood
We have been lifted higher by the strength
And by the blood of the Lamb!

Vs. 2 Through some tribulations, through the tempter's snares
Always with our foe on every side
We kept pressing onward to a promised land
Often as by fire we were tried
Soon it will be over, never more to roam
As our weary souls to Him we bring
Laying down our sorrow, lifting up our praise
To the Rock of Ages we will sing.
