FIRE BY NIGHT CLOUD BY DAY
Our God will lead the way
Dessert sand or promised land
Our God will lead the way
Forever we will follow
No matter what tomorrow holds
We will not go we will not move
We will not walk without Your presence
We will wait for You
The Great I Am Almighty God
We are desperate for Your presence
And without You we will not go
Troubled soul when darkness comes
Our God will lead the way
Joyful heart when blessings flow
Our God will lead the way
Forever we will follow
No matter what tomorrow holds
We will be still and know
We will be still and know
We will be still and know that You are God
