I wear my heart right on my sleeve
It’s just the way I’ve learned to believe
Watching my children as they grew
Building a house on a faith that’s true
Sunday mornings, sitting in the pew
Going to church, just like we used to do
A family anchored in the Word
Trusting the promises we heard
ChorusOh, the trials and the tests, they only make us stronger
When the road gets hard and the shadows grow longer
I will never give up, I will never give in
I know the hands that hold where I've been
The Lord our God will never leave us
He is always with us, He walks beside us
Verse 2I think of the mountains and the hiking trails
Where the wind blows sweet and the peace prevails
Camping out beneath the open sky
With my kids right there, watching time go by
I try to be patient, I try to care
Finding His presence everywhere
Through every season, through every year
I know the Spirit is always near
ChorusOh, the trials and the tests, they only make us stronger
When the road gets hard and the shadows grow longer
I will never give up, I will never give in
I know the hands that hold where I've been
The Lord our God will never leave us
He is always with us, He walks beside us
BridgeDeborah, keep holding on to grace
There is a purpose in this resting place
No matter how heavy the burden might feel
The love of the Father is steady and real
He holds my family, He holds my heart
He’s been the anchor right from the start
Final ChorusAnd the trials and the tests, they only make us stronger
When the road gets hard and the shadows grow longer
I will never give up, I will never give in
I know the hands that hold where I've been
The Lord our God will never leave us
He is always with us, He walks beside us
Yes, He is always with us, He walks beside us
