I read, You said, You’d never leave or forsake me If I would just believe I read, You said, Your love is everlasting With me You will be You are my wings when I’m falling, flying through the air Your hand lifts me up My Lord, my God, You’re always there You hear my voice when I’m calling, take away my fear Your Spirit in me My Lord, my God You’re always there I read, You said, if I ascend to the Heavens You would be there too I read, You said, You will search and know me You’ll see me through Based on everything that I’ve heard I will spend my life standing on the Word

Behind the Song:
"Jesse was playing around with an energetic riff one day. Shaun and I were really into it. As we sat down to write around the musical idea, we began brainstorming everything that God had done with us as individuals and what he had done through our ministry over the years. Everything has ups and downs, including ministry. It can be tough at times, but we couldn’t help but look back and see that God had always taken every step of the journey with us; even when the step might have been the wrong one. As we reminisced and talked more, a light went off and we realized what the hook to our song would be. This song became a proclamation of a Believer’s faith in what God’s Word says." - Shane Bowers (Julian Drive)
