Ebeneezer: Thus Far You Have Brought Me

A little over a year ago, You called me to go to Bethlehem College and Seminary. I did not know at the time what a journey of faith You would lead me on, and in the process of it I did not really know if I would come out alive this side of Heaven. But today marks the end of my first year at Bethlehem, and I can see the fingerprints of Your faithfulness on my life all along the way. Where You call You truly DO give the grace to follow, even when that grace comes just in time to take another breath and then another and then another... Forgive my doubt of Your power, my Father. Thank you for showing me this year like no other that You want to take my weaknesses and not only shine despite them but through them! What a journey. Keep holding my hand because You have shown me how much I need You.

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

Oh, Jesus, you're my God!

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
