OFFERTORY MAKE A WAY Arr. Erik Foster and Dan Galbraith
You brought me to the desert So you could be my water You brought me to the fire So you could be my shield You brought me to the darkness So you could be my morning light
When I’m in the battle, You will be my present peace Cause you brought me this far, You brought me this far If you brought me this far (Chorus)
If you brought me this far, if you brought me this far
You will make a way My God will make a way
(Chorus) Wherever you lead me, I know you won’t leave me Wherever you call me, you will make a way Wherever we’re going, I will be holding To the promise you have made You will make a way You will make a way And when I’m in the valley, You will be my comfort And when I’m at the end of me, I find you there
