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!

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 ►The Petersens: We celebrate American roots music with family values, and perform full time in Branson, Missouri in the USA.
