Sharpen Me

Intro — palm-muted power chords, intimate]

(Whoa… yeah…)

⸻

I was walking through the fire on my own

Edges dull, heart heavy like a stone

Thought I had the strength to stand alone

But I was never meant to fight alone

You saw the cracks I tried to hide

Didn’t run when I pushed you aside

You spoke truth I didn’t wanna hear

But it cut the doubt and killed the fear

⸻

Sparks fly when the pressure’s on

But that’s where the weak get strong

⸻

Iron sharpens iron — brothers side by side

Grinding through the darkness, keeping faith alive

When I’m weak, you remind me who I am

We’re forged in the fire by the Father’s hand

Iron sharpens iron — hear the anthem rise

We don’t walk alone into the fight

Yeah, we rise… we rise

(Gang vocals: “Iron sharpens iron!”)

⸻

You called me out when I lost my way

Wouldn’t let me drift, wouldn’t let me fade

Not just comfort — you brought the flame

Refined my heart in Jesus’ name

Through the valleys and the midnight doubt

You were the voice crying truth out loud

Every scar and every test

God used you to bring my best

⸻

Sparks fly when the pressure’s on

But that’s where the weak get strong

⸻

Iron sharpens iron — brothers side by side

Grinding through the darkness, keeping faith alive

When I’m weak, you remind me who I am

We’re forged in the fire by the Father’s hand

Iron sharpens iron — hear the anthem rise

We don’t walk alone into the fight

Yeah, we rise… we rise

(Gang vocals: “Iron sharpens iron!”)

⸻

(Ohhh…)

Not meant to battle on our own

Not meant to carry this alone

You lift me when my edge is worn

In every trial, a brother’s born

(Spoken/gritty)

We’re forged… not finished.

Refined… not broken.

⸻

Strike the steel — let the sparks fly

We live together, or we die alone

⸻

Iron sharpens iron — brothers side by side

Grinding through the darkness, keeping faith alive

When I’m weak, you remind me who I am

We’re forged in the fire by the Father’s hand

Iron sharpens iron — hear the anthem rise

We don’t walk alone into the fight

Yeah, we rise… we rise

(Gang vocals repeated)

Iron! — sharpens! — iron!

⸻

We rise together…

Forged forever…

Brother, don’t you let me fall…

(Yeahhh…)

Iron sharpens iron —

And He’s sharpening us all…
