Story behind the song
Troubles and trials have shaped my life; an emotional fire I've walked
through, that burned different things out of me, changed me,
and contributed to the person I've become in the present time.
At NO time would I ever say I was perfect; I make plenty of mistakes
each and every day.
But, for and with the grace of God, go I....Touched by the Fire, not once by TWICE.
The song speaks true..I have inquired of the Lord before when I
was facing something, and had Him help me to understand that it was
necessary..and it was a test of some sort, even though it was hard.
To serve and obey was necessary..putting Him first NO MATTER WHAT I
was going through..He'd be there for me and with me..that was a promise
I always had. But it hinged on my obedience to Him, nothing else.
To get through, I had to walk through the fires of Hell
and brimstone to get to where I was going...and, of course, I got burned
along the way....always facing the possibility of losing all to
gain something better..it is the way of the trials of life and the fire.
I will say this: if you're unwilling or unable to learn the lesson the first
time..you WILL face the fire once again; another time, another place.
Take it from someone who knows..she's been there, done that. :)
Lyrics
I went, through a trial,
Bigger than any I'd seen.
And I questioned the Lord,
As to what this might mean.
He said "Serve and obey,
This is what you must do.
Many things will come to pass,
But you will come through."
I saw, what lay before me,
I'd never been so scared.
But courage was born out of fear;
And the Lord met me there.
For a sacrifice was called,
And I nearly lost it all;
But the Lord had to come first;
And I knew I couldn't fall.......
Chorus
I've been through the fire,
Guided by Grace.
The Lord walked with me,
Through all that I faced.
I followed His will,
Kept his desire
Forever changed......Touched by the fire.
And now, into the future,
Where I go from here is unknown.
It's in the hands of the Lord;
Who takes care of His own.
I will always trust in Him,
With everything I see;
He's closer than a friend,
And I know, He cares for me!
Bridge
This was a trial for my life,
It wasn't easy, for I've there twice!
