ANTHEM: God Wouldn’t Bring You This Far to Leave You by Tom Trenney
God wouldn’t bring you this far to leave you. God wouldn’t bring you this far to let you go. No height nor depth nor anything else can separate us from the love that God will show. My God delivered Daniel from the lion’s den and Jonah from the belly of the whale! God led the Hebrew people to their freedom in the end. God’s love for us will never ever fail! Young David slayed Goliath. Miriam walked across the sea. The walls of Jericho came tumblin’ down. Queen Esther saved her people. Paul and Silas were set free. Take up your cross! One day you’ll wear a crown! God will not leave you. The Lord will not leave you wherever you go! God wouldn’t bring you this far to leave you. No! God will not ever let go!
