Raise your Ebenezer | Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us (1 Samuel 7:12)

Raise your Ebenezer | Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us (1 Samuel 7:12) is a simple worship song inspired by 1 Samuel 7:12 and Joshua 4. It is a song of remembrance, gratitude, and faith, celebrating God's faithfulness throughout life's journey. After the Lord gave Israel victory, Samuel set up a stone and called it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the Lord has helped us." Later, when Israel crossed the Jordan River, God instructed Joshua to set up twelve memorial stones so future generations would remember His mighty works. This song invites us to pause, remember God's goodness, and thank Him for every prayer He has answered, every trial He has carried us through, and every step He has faithfully led us. Like those memorial stones, may our lives tell the story of God's faithfulness to the next generation. Whether you're worshipping around a campfire, with your youth group, at church, or during your personal devotional time, may this song encourage you to look back with gratitude and forward with hope, knowing that the God who has helped us this far will continue to lead us.
