(Intro)

You’d think the road gets leveled out the longer that you walk

But the wind is getting louder and the shadows start to talk

It’s a heavy kind of tension,

it’s a pressure in the chest

But maybe the ones who carry more

are the ones He’s trusted best.

(Pre-Chorus)

It’s not a sign He’s left you,

or a signal of the end

It’s the pull of the Refiner,

it’s the break before the bend.

(Chorus)

He’s pressing on the pillars

that He knows can stand the weight

He’s keeping us from drifting

toward a cold and hollow state

So when the fire’s rising

and the world is feeling grim

It’s just to keep us hungry,

keep us looking back to Him

Yeah, He’s keeping us leaning on Him.

(Verse 2)

The shallow roots get washed away

when the summer rain is light

But the deep ones need the winter

just to learn to win the fight

If the mercy felt like easy street,

we’d fall asleep at the wheel

So He keeps the battle steady

just to keep the promise real.

It’s a strange kind of mercy,

a heavy kind of grace,

To feel the heat of the desert

just to seek the hidden place.

He isn’t breaking the spirit,

He’s breaking the pride,

So there’s nowhere left for the soul to hide.

I’m tired of drifting,

I’m done with the ease—

I’d rather be climbing if it keeps me on my knees.

Yeah, it keeps me on my knees.

(Outro)

Just keep looking up...

Don't let go.

Keep looking back to Him.
