Friction

Two stones collide sparks in the dark
Pressure creates where the fire will start
Every setback's fuel every trial's a test
I'm learning His strength when I'm under the stress
The weight's on my shoulders but faith holds the line
Victory's coming - I'm claiming what's mine

Discipline hurts when comfort feels safe
Purpose is calling I'm changing the pace
Every excuse used to anchor me down
But I've burned every rope that kept me bound
Up before sunrise sweat on the floor
Chasing the path I was made for and more
No shortcuts offered no bypassed climb
Every single rep's redefining my time

Pain in my lungs but breath is a gift
Faith in my chest is starting to lift
Storms keep coming but I won't retreat
Grace in my veins makes defeat obsolete
I've been refined where the heat burns deep
Friction's the fire where warriors speak
I walk through flames with my eyes set ahead
Trusting His promise where others see dread

Friction ignites where the faith runs high
Pressure reveals what the fire can't hide
Every scar I bear every hill I climb
Is molding my soul for a greater design
I won't back down when the trials get loud
I'm forged in the flames and I'm stronger now

I used to avoid where the struggle begins
Prayed for a path without wrestling sins
But faith without pressure stays weak in the end
His strength is made perfect when mine starts to bend
I've fallen before but mercy's the call
Grace caught my heart when I started to fall
Every setback taught me more than the win
Every loss broke chains I was living within

This fight isn't flesh; it's deeper than sight
I wrestle in prayer through the heat of the night
Friction reminds me I'm not in control
The fire's refining the cracks in my soul
The enemy whispers "You're losing your ground"
But Heaven keeps speaking a much louder sound:
"You're chosen you're held your steps have a plan
Keep pushing forward - I'm holding your hand"

If pressure is promise then bring me the weight
If storms are the classroom I'll sit and I'll wait
Teach me to trust when my strength feels gone
I rise on Your power; that's where I belong
I don't pray for ease; I pray to endure
Faith isn't shallow - it's forged to be pure

Friction ignites where the faith runs high
Pressure reveals what the fire can't hide
Every scar I bear every hill I climb
Is molding my soul for a greater design
I won't back down when the trials get loud
I'm forged in the flames and I'm stronger now

Fire to ashes ashes to flame
You're writing my story and calling my name
I'll keep on moving when fear says "stand still"
The friction refines me; I trust in Your will
Every bruise every mark every tear that I shed
Is proof of a battle where faith never bled
The sparks in the dark keep showing me this:
Refinement is hard but it leads me to bliss
