If everyone I loved hated me

If everyone abused me and hurt me

If everyone I loved died in front of me

If everything I ever cared about was ripped from me

If I had no more fight left to give

Would I still love you Father?

So many people that I love are being left out to dry

I know you forge us in fire

Sometimes the fire burns

So many are being beaten and abused

Father I know that this isn't you

Father I wish that it was me instead of them

Dear God all I can tell anyone that comes to me is this

"How much heat is your faith able to take?"

Sometimes I have to tell myself

It's you over everything

HOW MUCH HEAT IS IT GONNA TAKE FOR MY FAITH TO MELT!!

Dear Jesus I tried so hard to run but God wouldn't let me

How far would those I love go before they forsake you?

Dear Jesus cling to them

Dear Father don't let go

Father, the only way we can stand the test is with you
