Gold is a precious commodity on earth, and is even found in Heaven, but the process that this soft metal must go through to become more pure can be lengthy and involve various techniques.  Difficulties in life could be compared to the purification process of gold, and “it DOES matter” how we respond throughout tough times. 

Rebecca Vaughn shares her testimony of amazing grace after surviving a house fire when a child.  Her family's story is written in "More Precious Than Gold".
Miss Vaughn has written a sequel entitled "No Greater Love".

“I Shall Come Forth As Gold” 

Words and Music by Sharon copyright 1978
(dedicated by her to the Vaughn family)

My faith sometime soon God may test, 

But on His dear Word I must rest, 

For God always knows what is best, 

And I shall come forth as gold.

 
For I shall come forth as gold. 

Yes, I shall come forth as gold.

Though God may test me and try me,

Still I shall come forth as gold.

The way may seem so rough and steep,

And I may go through waters deep,

Sow’ng in tears but in joy I’ll soon reap,

Then I shall come forth as gold.

If your faith were tested today,Go

Would it stand true let come what may?

Could you in your heart with Job say,

“Yes, I shall come forth as gold”?

 
Faith in Christ must be strong and true.

My courage and strength He’ll renew,

Giving a sweet peace and joy anew,

And I shall come forth as gold.

For I shall come forth as gold. 

Yes, I shall come forth as gold.

Though God may test me and try me,

Still I shall come forth as gold.
