Backstory:

I wrote this for our Potter's Hand sermon series at church.  It was performed live with our band in May.  I'd like to know if it's commercially viable as well!

Verse 1
I never understood

   TESTED IN THE FLAME
PROVEN TRUE AS IMPERFECTION BURNS AWAY

To craft a vessel that’s of worth, and I am

(Chorus)  
Bridge:
When the pressure’s on it’s hard to see
You’re preparing us for our destiny, and we’re….
