Bringing us this far....

On Wednesday, August 23rd, Hope Community Church will be celebrating 8 years of existence. Since I work at Hope, all of last week and so far this week I have been digging through tons of old video and pictures of our 8 years of being together. It is so amazing to see God's faithfulness, and hear stories of His provision these past 8 years.

Now we sit, 8 years old, approaching moving into a new building, on our new land. Its been an incredible ride thus far. In just remembering, watching, and hearing about our 8 year old story, God is made extremely magnificent. He has brought us a long way - He has brought us this far. But He still has a long way to take us....as individuals, and as a church. Praise be to His glorious name!

"Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far has the LORD helped us." - 1 Samuel 7:12




We're on a journey.
To follow after You
We're on a mission
To mimic all You do

And we've come this far
Just take a look around
And we've come this far
And we trust You to lead us where You are

We can tell stories
Of Your faithful, holy name
And our hearts are resounding
Of Your glory and Your fame

And we've come this far
Just take a look around
And we've come this far
And we trust You to lead us where You are

When we're worried
And we think we've lost our way
We look to Your throne
And we see Your loving face

And You've brought us this far
Let's take a look around
And You've brought us this far
And we trust You to lead us where You are
