Dancing in High Places - The Words Behind the Music

Strength to Go Through the Fire

Are there trials you’ve been goin’ through?
Are you called to love though no love is returned?
As a child of God are you praising Him—
Though your heart is breaking in two?
Do you cry out for that—

Strength to go through the fire
God I need that special strength
to go through the fire
I want to be that servant to you
a servant more pleasing for Thee

Do you hide your self in your pain—
Hold onto to it as if it were a friend?
Joy in knowing that with Jesus
All things are for your good
Do you cry out for that—

Strength to go through the fire
God I need that special strength
to go through the fire
I want to be that servant to you
a servant more pleasing for Thee

Bible doesn’t promise Utopia
And our heaven is not here on earth
He promises he’ll not allow more than we can stand
And our God will see us through by giving us that—

Strength to go through the fire
God I need that special strength
to go through the fire
I want to be that servant to you
a servant more pleasing for Thee

Strength to go through the fire
God I need that special strength
to go through the fire
I want to be that servant to you
a servant more pleasing for Thee.

 

He Holds My Now and Forever

Don’t lay down and nod when the battle gets too tough
When you’ve done all you can do  and it’s gotten too rough
Trials are for us to grow to become the pure gold
If we give our lives to Jesus we’ll see the victory unfold

For He knows my yesterdays and He holds my now and forever
His tough love will never let me go
For He knows my yesterdays and He holds my now and forever
And His tough love will never let me go

For now my feet are of  those of a child
Through the patience of my Lord I’ll walk sure and swift
With the strength I find in Him as my Lord, my Rock, my Friend
I’ll grow to do each day as though I were a reflection of Him
 
For He knows my yesterdays and He holds my now and forever
His tough love will never let me go
For He knows my yesterdays and He holds my now and forever
And His tough love will never let me go

When I want to quit and I feel I can’t go on
He reminds me of how far I’ve come, His promise still stands strong
How my boundaries are stretched in my understanding Him
How He knows me better than anyone else could

For He knows my yesterdays and He holds my now and forever
His tough love will never let me go
For He knows my yesterdays and He holds my now and forever
And His tough love will never let me go

And His tough love will never let me go

The Beat Goes On

The beat goes on with the cry of the universe
Beyond borders and fences we build for ourselves
The world is round despite the rumor otherwise
Blind men see clearer than sighted sometimes
And borne by me to the borders made by mortal men
When more lies ahead to seek and find

Short sighted vision takes you only so far
Far sighted vision takes you farther than you’ve been

There is no limit when I stand with you Lord
Give me with vision for a future where it had to be you
Set free to dream what it is you’d have me do
Something so big God it has to be you

The beat goes on with the ocean wave even if I’m not there to see
Corn grows tall even if the farmers not watchin’
He trusts that if he plants the whole harvest, it is coming
It’s been since the beginning of time

Why is one who is not important
Yet is to a God with no limits even if I do

There is no limit when I stand with you Lord
Give me with vision for a future where it had to be you
Set free to dream what it is you’d have me do
Something so big God it has to be you

Something so big God it has to be you
