this is no casual storm - for i am weather-beaten and time-worn - this fire is not merely warm - i have been burned and broke - refined as ore - i believe - that there is nothing between you and me - for your blood has redeemed - i believe - what you are exercising in me - is no more - no less than what i need - you are faithful - the test of patience is long - and i am waiting on deliverance to come - but your commitment is strong - and i have seen that you've forgotten none - there is no empty trial - there is no wasted pain - there is no needless fire - the love of god sustains - and how i have to bless him - i have to praise his name - for all the times i have been taken through the flame - you are so faithful to me - yes you are faithful, god
