Ah, gorgeous evening for a family bike ride down the river.

We took a 45-minute pit stop at some friends’ house and let our kids play (and they let us use their bathroom). Good chatting; good laughing.

My Caden has been singing the following song all day to me – spontaneously, at different times.

The other day when it was on in the car, he asked thoughtfully:

“So. God goes before us and we stand behind Him?”

That’s right, Baby. That’s right.

You hear me when I call

You are my Morning Song

Though darkness fills the night

It cannot hide the light.

Whom shall I fear?

You crush the enemy

Underneath my feet

You are my Sword and Shield

Though troubles linger still

Whom shall I fear?

I know Who goes before me

I know Who stands behind

The God of Angel Armies

Is always by my side!

The One Who reigns forever

He is a Friend of mine

The God of Angel Armies

Is always by my side!

My strength is in Your Name

For You alone can save

You will deliver me

Yours is the victory!

Whom shall I fear?

And nothing formed against me shall stand!

You hold the whole world in Your hands!

I’m holding onto Your Promises

You are faithful!

You are faithful!

You are faithful!

The God of Angel Armies is always by my side.
