ANTHEM: I Will Be with You by Joel Raney
When you pass through the water, when you walk through the fire, when the rivers overflow, I will be with you. When you walk through the desert, when you’re caught in the storm, when you lose your way, I will be with you. When you can’t find the answer, when you’re filled with despair, when you stumble and fall, I will be with you. When you’re tired from the struggle, when you’re weak from the pain, lean on me. I will be with you! For I have called you by name, you’ve heard the echo of my voice whisper, “I love you, you are mine.” For you are precious in my sight, and I will guide you through the night. When you walk, walk by faith, and I will be with you. In your joy, and in your pain, if you call out my name, I will be with you. When you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, have no fear, I will be with you! Through the storm, through the rain, through the joy, through the pain, when you walk, walk by faith, and I will be with you. [based on Isaiah 43]

I have called you each by name. Come and follow me, I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine. [based on Isaiah 43]
