How Firm A Foundation - The Petersens (LIVE)

Katie has loved listening to this song the past couple of years because of the rich message behind the lyrics. This is our last video we recorded without Julianne so we are so excited that all future YouTube videos will include our newest college graduate!

Hope the words and the melody bring you peace and joy like they have brought us.

►LYRICS - How Firm A Foundation
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word
What more can He say than to you He hath said?
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with you, oh be not dismayed
For I am your God, and will still give you aid
I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand
Upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters I call you to go
The rivers of sorrow will not overflow
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless
And sanctify to you your deepest distress

When through fiery trials your pathway will lie
My grace all-sufficient will be your supply
The flame will not hurt you, I only design
Your dross to consume, and your gold to refine

That soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
That soul, though all Hell should endeavor to shake
Well, I'll never - no never - no never forsake

That soul, though all Hell should endeavor to shake
I'll never - no never - no never forsake
