Adversity

I know where the whole thing started, it was 15 years ago Remember when we ran out of cash 6 hours away from home? I pawned off a couple gift cards, we limped home without a word And the band bit the dust the next day They left me sitting on the curb So bring on the misery, you made my callouses strong Douse me in gasoline, I'm burning all night long When the waves crash and the wind blows and my body breaks God bless adversity: author of every song I know that my voice ain't pretty when I'm singing from my soul Remember when they played "Fingerprints" on Christian radio? And everyone called the DJ, they said, "take it off the air!" But they couldn't see the worship in a heart laid bare And it burned, but I learned So bring on the misery, you made my callouses strong Douse me in gasoline, I'm burning all night long When the waves crash and the wind blows and my body breaks God bless adversity: author of every song When the currents come When the armor fails When their cannons smash my sails I will not be moved I have come too far Lessons learned from every scar So bring on the misery, you made my callouses strong Douse me in gasoline, I'm burning all night long When the waves crash and the wind blows and my body breaks God bless adversity: author of every song
