God has truly been faithful. He walks with us, and has not left us alone;
God looks after His children. Like a father, He cares for His own.
As we make the journey, we know that He will bring us through sorrow and despair;
Through all of our struggles, God richly shows forth His love and care.
Let us not forget all that God has taught us;
May we always remember how far God has brought us.
God's care and guidance has always been there for all to see;
Daily, God watches over us. Daily, He shows forth His rich mercy.
He is not dear to our pleas. He is not distant and far away;
He inclines His ear, He listens when we come and pray.
Let us not forget all that God has taught us;
May we always remember how far God has brought us.
He has demonstrated His love for us. He planned our soul's salvation;
He sent forth His Son, to carry out the work of justification.
Through faith in Christ, we have the blessings of life and peace forever more;
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus has opened to us, heaven's eternal door.
Let us not forget all that God has taught us;
May we always remember how far God has brought us.
Our God shines upon us daily the bright rays of His divine grace;
He daily renews us, and He strengthens us to run the Christian race.
Through His Spirit, He directs our ways and guides our feet;
Through faith, we press on. We shall have victory, and not see defeat.
Let us not forget all that God has taught us;
May we always remember how far God has brought us.
God has brought us through times of great sorrow and tears;
He spoke to our troubled spirits, and He calmed our fears.
His divine presance gives to us both joy and pleasure;
His grace and mercy is our greatest treasure.
Let us not forget all that God has taught us;
May we always remember how far God has brought us.
God moves in a mighty way. He guides us and supports us with His hand;
He leads us through the world, onward to the heavenly promised land.
Praise be to God! He cares for us, and knows the desires of our heart;
Daily, we are at peace. We know that His sweet presence will never depart.
Throughout the journey, we hold on to what God has taught us;
Let us give thanks as we ponder how far God has brought us.
