He Did not Bring Us This Far to Leave Us

Posted by: Brittany

Early this afternoon I was reminded of this precious song.  Truly, no matter what the Lord is taking us through right now, we can be assured that it is for our good, and that He is using it to draw us closer to Himself.  This is a comforting thought!  Whether we are dealing with failure, hurt, fear, or any given circumstance, it is another way for us to see that we are His beloved children that He will never leave or forsake.  Take courage and strength in His promises!

Lyrics:

He didn't bring us this far to leave us
He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown
He didn't build His home in us to move away
He didn't lift us up to let us down

There are some promises in a letter
Written a long, long time ago
They're not getting older, they're getting better
Because He still wants us to know

He didn't bring us this far to leave us
He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown
He didn't build His home in us to move away
He didn't lift us up to let us down (to let us down, let us down)
He didn't lift us up to let us down

Never use the word defeat
Claim His promises, every one of them
And every spoken word He'll hear
Because we're everything to Him

He didn't bring us this far to leave us
He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown
He didn't build His home in us to move away
He didn't lift us up to let us down (to let us down, let us down)
He didn't lift us up to let us down
