Chair in the fire

(Verse 1)

I hit my knees on the hard floor

Couldn’t carry this weight no more

I asked the Lord,

To reach on down and numb the pain

I begged for the storm to just clear out

To silence the fear and drown the doubt

I thought if I believed enough,

He’d make the road a little less rough

(Chorus)

Yeah, I thought Faith would say

"I’ll take away the hurt today"

I thought it meant the fight was done

A victory march, a battle won

But Faith walked in and closed the door

Sat down beside me on the floor as my father would.

Said, "I won't stop the wind that blows

Or save you from the highs and lows...

I won't take the pain away

But I’ll sit with you while you stay."

(Verse 2)

Now the devil’s circling round the edge

Trying to push me off the ledge

He sees the sweat, he smells the smoke

He thinks my spirit’s finally broke

He’s waiting for the crash and burn

Thinking it’s finally his turn

To take a man who’s lost his way

To drag me down into hell’s glory

(Bridge)

But he don’t see who’s next to me

In the middle of this misery

He sees a man who’s bleeding out

But he doesn’t know what this is about

Im not alone in this darkened room

I got a Light inside the gloom

(Chorus)

Cause I thought Faith would say

"I’ll take away the hurt today"

I thought it meant the fight was done

A victory march, a battle won

But Faith pulled up a chair as my father would right here,

In the middle of the grief and fear

Said, "I won't make the shadows flee

But you’re gonna go through this with me."

(Outro)

So let the devil try his hand son.

He doesn't understand...

The pain is here, but so am I.

I’m Sitting in the fire with you.
