OUR GOD WILL GO BEFORE US
and guide us by his presence;
what confidence this promise is:
we will never walk alone.

2 Through unknown paths, through shadows,
our hearts fear not tomorrow;
for every step, his faithfulness
is the truth that lights our way.

Our God will go before us;
the Lord of hosts is with us.
O praise the One who leads us on,
for his grace will bring us home.

3 Though evil forms against us,
all heaven will defend us;
the gates of hell shall not prevail,
for the battle is the Lord’s.

Our God will go before us…

4 Now send us with your presence
and lead us on to heaven,
where songs of sorrow strain no more
and our every breath is praise;
O let our every breath be praise.

Our God will go before us…

Our God will go before us;
the Lord of hosts is with us.
O praise the One who leads us on,
for his grace will bring us home;
for his grace will bring us home.
