He won’t abandon
He won’t deceive
He won’t desert us
He won’t ever leave
He’ll never forsake us
He won’t ever run
He’ll never reject us
The Faithful One
Your love will remain
Your love will remain
A Mighty Fortress is our God
A Tower of Strength never failing
The name of Jesus true and strong
No other power could ever save us
You are good / You are good
Mighty Fortress
Yesterday and Today and Forever
Your love will remain
Nothing has the power to sever Your love
You are good You are good
And Your mercy endures
You are good You are good
