Kingdom Forge - Tempered

Lyrics: Forged through fire Breathing in the ash I made Every wound A rusted chain Every lie A crooked blade My past scars Carved across a fractured frame All that ruin All that rage Hammered into something changed Tempered In the furnace of my pain Tempered Till the cracks became my praise My forgotten shame Now a banner to his grace God shaped me He made me Called me by name Set me apart Hands of mercy Struck the anvil of my heart Bent the steel of who I was Tore the idols clean apart In the sparks I heard a Voice above the roar “Rise from ashes Stand and roar You’re not what you were before” Tempered In the furnace of my pain Tempered Till the scars began to blaze My forgotten shame Now a banner to his grace God shaped me He made me Called me by name Set me apart I was wreckage I was chains He was thunder Calling my name From the embers From the grave Set apart now Born in the flame Tempered In the furnace of my pain Tempered Every fracture turned to praise My forgotten shame Now a banner to his grace God shaped me He made me Called me by name Set me apart To lead his flock To spread the word To share his love So NONE Grow apart
