Iron Sharpens Iron

The only lasting love
Begins with honesty
But don't become discouraged
When we disagree
Lies are so appealing
When you want to be my friend
But all you'll do
Is hurt me in the end

Iron sharpens iron
As we get closer, there might be pain
Iron sharpens iron
We can never remain the same

If we only have patience
While we bear the pain
Holding on, we know
Our hope is not in vain
For hope is not deceptive
When we are not deceived
And the love of God appears
When we believe

Iron sharpens iron
As we get closer, there might be pain
Iron sharpens iron
We can never remain the same

Iron sharpens, iron sharpens
Iron sharpens, iron sharpens iron

Every stone for building
Must be cut to size
And we as living stones
Must come to realize
To be changed into His likeness
There's so much we must be shown
And we were never meant
To grow alone

Iron sharpens iron
As we get closer, there might be pain
Iron sharpens iron
We can never remain the same

Iron sharpens iron
As we get closer, there might be pain
Iron sharpens iron
We can never remain the same
