Trials and Tribulations

Trials and tribulations they gon' come Facing many ops you gotta run Trials and tribulations they gon' come Stay steadfast until the race is won Through them dusty roads taking lots of blows Living this life that's just how it goes Trying to work through debris so I can be set free Knowing the world ain't greater than who's in me Still I struggle and strife I gotta pay my price The cost of my sins ain't gon' wear me nice Yeah they tear me down they drag me round So I'll haul em out now before they pull me twice Trials and tribulations they gon' come Facing many ops you gotta run Trials and tribulations they gon' come Stay steadfast until the race is won I keep pushing against the grain so I don't stay the same Carrying this shame it gon' come with pain Though I face many trials Your love remains So I'll kick the hard knock like a bunch of rocks Stay riding with You until the tick don't tock I'm on borrowed time the hustle just can't stop I walk fighting with the flesh I gotta flip the flop Cuz my spirit's heired next to the One on top Trials and tribulations they gon' come Facing many ops you gotta run Trials and tribulations they gon' come Stay steadfast until the race is won All these tribulations I keep persevering Them voices are loud but Yours the one I'm fearing So I remain the course take the test of time Holding this endurance so I can reap what's mine Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death Ima keep it pushing til I got no more left I gotta die to myself so I can rise to my wealth Ima do my part and God will do the rest Trials and tribulations they gon' come Facing many ops you gotta run Trials and tribulations they gon' come Stay steadfast until the race is won The suffering I face opens the doors to wisdom I count it all joy and keep seeking the Kingdom Ridding myself of sinful desires Putting the armor on wearing Holy attire A shepherd to the flock so they don't get got Cuz when Chief Shepherd come He gon' clear out shop Like a thief in the night I hope you think to get right Cuz receiving a crown of glory gon' come with a fight Trials and tribulations they gon' come Facing many ops you gotta run Trials and tribulations they gon' come Stay steadfast until the race is won Yeah through them dusty roads You gotta stay connected to the One who knows you most Don't focus so much on the race but maintaining your pace Through perseverance comes endurance So keep your eyes focused on the One up above With Him anything you can overcome
