Lyrics

True Gold

Johnny was a believer, living for the Lord.
He walked the way of forgiveness, while those around him scorned.
They laughed and called him simple, and talked behind his back,
Made his life unbearable, but like Jesus he would not fight back.
He knew those fiery trials, would make him burn brighter,
Cause true gold is not a-fraid of the fire.

She worked outside the home, just to keep her family going,
And trusted in the Lord, without ever knowing.
That the love for her Savior, was shining on her face,
Reflecting the power of heaven, into that work place.
She knew those fiery trials, would make her burn brighter,
Cause true gold is not afraid of the fire.

A young man in high school, knew he?d break before he?d bend,
He didn?t walk in the dark, he hadn?t give his heart,
To the foolishness of men.
He was living for a kingdom, they couldn?t understand,
He shared his faith with courage, and he stood up like a man.
He knew those fiery trials, would make him burn brighter,
Cause true gold is not afraid of the fire.

In a prison cell in China, tortured for his faith,
He would never give in to a world of sin,
He chose to love and not to hate.
Chained in the darkness, he cried, ?God can you hear,?
Then he saw the scars in Jesus hands, and his chains disappeared.
He knew those fiery trials, would make him burn brighter,
Cause true gold is not afraid of the fire.
