Every trial
Brought many tears
Every tear left its own scar

Evidence
More evidence
Of my journey
Of my losses
Of the cross that
I had to bear

But You said
No weapon formed against me
No, no weapon
Would ever prosper
But You said,
Yes
It would take its toll…

But that it would never destroy me
It would only prepare me
It would be in my breaking
That I’d be
Made whole

Still,
I couldn’t understand it
What purpose could there be
In so much pain
Or in all the heartache
That left me feeling
So alone!

Yes, it made me wonder
I often wondered
If You were still
If You were still
On Your throne!

But You said…
No weapon would prosper
But You said…
It would take its toll
But that it can’t destroy me
But it would be
In my breaking that
You were making me
Whole

I felt like You were
Killing me softly
And I couldn’t
Understand why!

How much more
How much more could I take?
On this …
We could never ever agree

You wanted me to learn
I had to learn
To give up my self-reliance
And solely
Solely depend
On the Christ
Who lived in me!

For its only in the pain
Only in the heartache
That the truth of You
Could be found and
This would be the great reveal
The evidence of Christ
That all the world
Is waiting
To see

Only then could You trust me
Only then
Could I rightly witness
Of Your love and existence
Only then
Only then
Could I shine!

Oh, oh, oh
You said
No weapon would prosper
But yes, it would take its toll
But that it could never destroy me
But would only prepare me
And when
And when it was over
I’d be made
Whole

Yes
In the end
You would take this
same weapon
And make it my friend

And then
In the end
In the end
When it’s over

 

When it’s finally
Over…
I’ll look like
You…..
Yes,
I’ll look like you
