[Intro]
BORN FOR ADVERSITY
Inspired by Proverbs 17:17
Yeah…
Everybody loves you when the table full.
When the lights are bright.
When your name got weight.
But adversity got a way of introducing you
to the people who were really sent by God.
[Verse 1]
I learned friendship ain't measured when the sun is shining bright,
It's who still walks beside you through the longest, darkest night.
Who don't disappear the second that the blessings become scars,
Who'll sit beside your brokenness and point you back to God.
Everybody wants the victory, nobody wants the rain,
They'll celebrate the healing but weren't present through the pain.
But a real one sees you falling and don't kick you when you're down,
They get underneath the burden, help you lift it off the ground.
I've seen smiles become strangers when the circumstances changed,
Seen the ones I called my brothers act like they forgot my name.
But I've also seen God send me people right when hope was getting thin,
Not to judge me for my battles but remind me who I am in Him.
See, adversity ain't only something sent to make you bleed,
Sometimes trouble is the filter showing who you really need.
When the crowd becomes a whisper and your whole world comes apart,
That's when loyalty quits talking and starts speaking from the heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the money's gone,
When the door gets closed,
When you're walking through the fire
and nobody knows—
Look beside you,
Who remains?
That's the kind of love
that survives the pain.
[Chorus]
A friend loves at all times,
Not just when the sky is blue.
A brother's born for adversity,
When the whole world turns on you.
When you're wounded in the valley,
When you're fighting just to breathe,
God will send somebody faithful
who refuses just to leave.
Through the fire, through the pressure,
Through the questions you can't see—
A friend loves at all times,
A brother's born for adversity.
[Verse 2]
Don't call me brother if you only love the version that's succeeding,
Will you still be in my corner when my heart is barely beating?
When I don't have nothing left to offer, nothing left to give,
Will you remind me there's a reason God has kept me here to live?
Real love ain't always comfortable, sometimes it'll correct,
Tell you truth straight to your face while still surrounding you with respect.
It won't cosign your destruction just because you call it choice,
Sometimes friendship sounds like warning when you need a faithful voice.
Jesus showed us what it looks like when commitment has a cost,
Love kept reaching toward the broken, toward the lonely and the lost.
So don't tell me that you love me only when I'm standing tall,
Show me love when I am crawling, when I've stumbled, when I fall.
And I'll do the same for you when all your strength has disappeared,
I won't run because you're hurting, I won't vanish out of fear.
You don't have to hide your battles, you ain't fighting them alone,
If God planted me beside you, we're gon' walk each other home.
[Chorus]
A friend loves at all times,
Not just when the sky is blue.
A brother's born for adversity,
When the whole world turns on you.
When you're wounded in the valley,
When you're fighting just to breathe,
God will send somebody faithful
who refuses just to leave.
Through the fire, through the pressure,
Through the questions you can't see—
A friend loves at all times,
A brother's born for adversity.
[Verse 3]
Maybe that's why God allowed me to experience the storm,
So I'd recognize true loyalty when trouble took its form.
Maybe every closed door taught me not to worship human praise,
'Cause the crowd that screams your name today can disappear in days.
I don't need a thousand people saying everything I want,
Give me one who's really praying when the enemy starts to haunt.
One who knows about my history but still believes I'm more,
One who sees me in the hallway and reminds me there's a door.
And let me be that kind of person, Father, teach me how to stay,
When somebody's world is breaking, don't let me just walk away.
Give me patience for their weakness, give me shoulders for their load,
Let my friendship be a shelter when they're stranded on the road.
Because brotherhood is action, not a title that we claim,
It's standing in the furnace saying, "You won't burn here by yourself today."
So when adversity comes knocking, we ain't running—we believe,
Because a friend loves at all times…
And a brother's born for adversity.
[Bridge]
When you're crying—I'll be there.
When you're hurting—I'll be there.
When your faith gets weak and your road gets steep,
I'll remind you God is there.
When you're winning—I'll rejoice.
When you're broken—hear my voice.
We weren't made to walk alone,
God puts family on the road.
Some people are in your life for the celebration.
Some are there for the season.
But every now and then…
God sends somebody built for the storm.
Somebody who doesn't ask,
"What can you do for me?"
They ask,
"How can I help you make it through?"
[Chorus]
A friend loves at all times,
Not just when the sky is blue.
A brother's born for adversity,
When the whole world turns on you.
When you're wounded in the valley,
When you're fighting just to breathe,
God will send somebody faithful
who refuses just to leave.
Through the fire, through the pressure,
Through the questions you can't see—
A friend loves at all times,
A brother's born for adversity.
[Outro]
Not born for convenience…
Born for adversity.
Not only there for the blessing…
There for the battle too.
Proverbs 17:17.
Real love stays.
