A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted,  
In the calm, it may seem strong and well-adjusted,  
But when the storms of life come rushing in,  
It falters, weakens, questioning within.

For faith must walk through fire, face the night,  
Endure the shadows, yet still seek the light.  
It’s in the trials, the moments of despair,  
That faith grows roots, finds strength in prayer.

When tested, faith becomes refined and pure,  
No longer fragile, but steadfast and sure.  
A faith that’s trusted is one that has endured,  
For through the trials, God’s love is secured.
