LYRICS
I try the reins, I search the heart
I give to every man according to his ways
According to the fruit that shall remain

Fine homes, cars and clothes
Don't really matter much to Me.
They could never stand My test of fire.
Life is more than making ends meet --
In the end I'll want to know
Will all you've worked for pass My test, Yes or No?

Dont' let ambition crowd Me out
Uncertain riches of this world
Are not all they claim to be
Please look to Me - I want you now to see

That I have what you're really searching for
Eternal riches - I have them all in store
And if you stay on course
Don't look back and don't give in
Your fruit will stand My fire in the end.

I want you to pass the test.
You'll have to take this test.

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering - You've gotta take the test.
Temperance, meekness, faithfulness - They will pass the test
Gentleness and goodness - They will pass the test
And I want you to pass the test.
