I Think I See Gold

this was one of the songs that brought me through this semester.
seriously, i was always wondering, how long more?

and its not just about the finishing line. going back to 2004 when everything crumbled, i had no idea what was happening. the only thing i could do was push forward through the years and not know what was happening. and after pushing for 2 years, there are still doubts of what if its not the end at this semester? what if i have to continue even more? what for? why?

this song spoke a lot to me. honestly, i thought it was just some song about riches but listening to it brought me spirit. i looked at myself and wondered, what gold? is there any possibility to still have gold? i would not know. i only know to just push and persevere. what gold? that would be for God to show me.

I Think I See Gold

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Steve Millikan and Ray Boltz

I see you struggling every day
You think, How long
Can I go on this way?
On and on
Again and again
Oh, when will it end?

You think, I just can't go on
Much longer
But inside, my friend,
Your faith is growing stronger
You feel the fire burning
Deep in your soul
But I want you to know

CHORUS:
I think I see gold
I think I see gold in the fire
Right there in the ashes
Is all you've desired
Oh, it's hard
As you press toward the goal
Don't give up
Don't give in
Don't stop now
I think I see gold

Until this moment
You've always believed
When life grew darkest
By faith you could see
Open your eyes
Look for the light
You see, you were right

These lonely hours
Like a fire refining
Something that's precious
Something that's shining
There in the darkness
Surrounded by coals
Is starting to glow
