REFINING FIRE II

[Intro – Choir + Low Voice]
You thought it got easier…
It got deeper…

⸻

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I thought growth meant the storms would fade,
But I found new levels bring heavier weight.
Not the same battles I used to fight,
Now it’s pressure on purpose, tested in light.

I ain’t breaking, I’m bending to shape,
Every trial revealing what’s real, what’s fake.
Things I leaned on started falling apart,
Forced me to rebuild from the inside heart.

It ain’t comfort, it’s calling refined,
Cutting out anything not aligned.
I used to pray for peace and ease,
Now I pray for strength through what I need.

⸻

[Hook – Choir + Power]
Refining fire, I won’t run,
I know what I’m becoming.
Through the heat, I’m made strong,
This pain won’t last long.

Refining fire, burn it out,
Everything I lived without.
What remains is who I am,
Built by God, not by man.

⸻

[Verse 2]
Yeah, this kind of pressure hit different inside,
Not loud chaos — it’s quiet pride.
Checking my motives, checking my heart,
Making sure I ain’t drifting apart.

Even blessings can test your soul,
If you lose your focus, you lose control.
So I stay grounded, I stay aware,
Not letting success lead me anywhere.

I seen growth expose what I didn’t see,
Parts of myself I had to release.
Not punishment — it’s preparation,
God shaping me for elevation.

⸻

[Hook – Bigger]
Refining fire, I won’t run,
I know what I’m becoming…

⸻

[Bridge – Raw Tone]
Burn what’s not right…
Leave what’s real…

⸻

[Outro – Choir Fade]
Refined…
Not destroyed…
