I Am Gold
by Philip Bailey

Album: The Wonders of His Love
by Philip Bailey

Count it all joy
When you're feeling the pain
For new wisdom you'll gain
Tribulation worketh patience in your life

I've been tried in the fire
And the flames get so high
That I can't see the sky
For the smoke in my eyes
But each time I survive
Makes me not ashamed
To stand

Little child
You've had more than your share
Of all the heartbreak you can bare
And it seems that life is so unfair

Through it all
You'll learn to stand up tall
'Cause God above won't let you fall
'Cause He hears His children when they call

I've been tried in the fire (ahhh, ahhh, ah, ah)
And the flames get so high
That I can't see the sky (ahhh, ahhh, ah, ah)
For the smoke in my eyes
But each time I survive
Makes me not ashamed to stand and testify

I am gold
I've been tried in the fire
I've been tried in the fire
I can climb higher and higher

I am gold
I've been tried in the fire
I've been tried in the fire
I can climb higher and higher

It may seem that others have an easy road
While you struggle heart and soul
Climbing upward for that higher goal

But in time
A sweet reward you'll find
And how the gold within you'll shines
When by fire you've been purified (clouds of glory)

I've been tried in the fire (ahhh, ahhh, ah, ah)
And the flames get so high
That I can't see the sky (ahhh, ahhh, ah, ah)
For the smoke in my eyes
But each time I survive
Makes me not ashamed to stand and testify, yeah

So count it all joy (ahhh, ahhh, ah, ah)
Said that when you're feeling the pain (ahhh, ahhh, ah, ah)
For new wisdom you'll gain
Tribulation will worketh patience in your life, yeah

I am gold
I've been tried in the fire
I've been tried in the fire
I can climb higher and higher

I am gold
I've been tried in the fire
I've been tried in the fire
I can climb higher and higher

Lord Jesus
Take me higher
Take me higher in your love, oh, Lord
Jesus, Jesus, take me higher
Hey-ee-yay-eey-yee, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, I've been tried in the fire
I can climb, ooo!
Hey, I've been tried in the fire (mm, mmmm, mm)
Jesus, hey-ee-yay-eey-yay

I am gold
