Faith Audio Arsenal | Battle List | Count The Stones

Download Your Own “Count The Stones” Sheet HereApparently, birthdays are traditionally when people give you things.I have decided not to totally cooperate.So I brought you ammunition.This year, instead of simply counting candles, I’ve been thinking about stones.Not the decorative kind.The biblical kind.The stones we stack in our memory because God did something we cannot afford to forget.Joshua had twelve stones carried out of the Jordan.Samuel raised a stone and called it Ebenezer:“Thus far the LORD has helped us.”And I’ve realized something.I have stones too.So do you.Places where God provided.Places where He redirected.Places where He carried us through something we were quite certain would flatten us.Places where the answer wasn’t what we expected, but His faithfulness remained.That is why, for my birthday, I wanted to give my paid subscribers something different.A new Faith Audio Arsenal Battle List song called “Count the Stones.”And a Battle Record worksheet to help you identify your own.Because the next time fear asks whether God can be trusted with what comes next, I want you to have an answer.Count the stones.Check the battle record.Remember who got you this far.Then pick up your armor and keep walking.Thus far, the LORD has helped us.And “thus far” means the story isn’t over yet.Lyrics:COUNT THE STONESFaith Audio Arsenal | Battle List[Verse 1]There was water where the road should beNo bridge ahead, no guaranteeJust one more step where faith had ledAnd a river waiting up aheadBut the feet went down and the waters movedGod made a way they could walk right throughTwelve stones came up from the riverbedSo no one would forget what God had done[Pre-Chorus]When the road ahead says, “You don’t know”Turn around and see how far you’ve comeYou’ve got evidence behind youPick it upRemember every one[Chorus]Count the stonesName the places God was faithfulCount the stonesEvery mercy, every rescueWhen fear asks,“Will He meet you here?”Don’t let the question stand aloneCheck the recordTell the storyCount the stones[Verse 2]Samuel stood where the battle had turnedNot because Israel’s strength had earnedOne stone raised between then and nowA witness standing on the groundEbenezer — “Thus far He helped”Not “nothing hard will come again”But the God who held us yesterdayIs still the God on whom we depend[Pre-Chorus]When the enemy edits historyAnd tells you God was never thereBring the truth back to the battlefieldMemory can answer fear[Chorus]Count the stonesName the places God was faithfulCount the stonesEvery mercy, every rescueWhen fear asks,“Will He meet you here?”Don’t let the question stand aloneCheck the recordTell the storyCount the stones[Verse 3]Some stones never made a monumentNo crowd was there, no story spreadJust a prayer whispered after midnightAnd enough strength to get out of bedA door slammed shut that became protectionA loss you still don’t understandA road you never would have chosenWhere somehow God still held your handNot every water partedNot every answer cameBut through every changing circumstanceThe Faithful One remained[Build]So stack the evidenceRaise it highNot to worship where you’ve beenEvery stone points past itselfTo the God who carried you through it[Bridge]Fear says, “What if He doesn’t?”Doubt says, “What if you fall?”The enemy starts rewritingLike God was never there at allCheck the battle recordBring the evidence inWho was God before the Jordan?Who was God when you stepped in?Who was there inside the waiting?Who sustained you through the loss?Who stayed faithful when the answerWasn’t what you would have asked?Same GodStill faithfulSame GodStill hereI don’t know what He will do nextBut I knowWHOHEIS[Breakdown]Count the stonesProvisionCount the stonesProtectionCount the stonesCorrectionCount the stonesSustaining graceEvery answered prayerEvery closed doorEvery wilderness where He gave you enoughEvery place you can look back and say—“Thus farthe LORDhas helped me.”[Final Chorus]COUNT THE STONESName the places God was faithfulCOUNT THE STONESLet remembrance answer fearWhen tomorrow stands before youAnd you cannot see the roadCheck the recordTell the storyCOUNTTHESTONESHe was faithful in the riverHe was faithful in the fightHe was faithful in the waitingHe was faithful through the nightI don’t need to know tomorrowTo know I do not walk aloneThus far the LORD has helped meSo I’ll countthe stones[Outro]One for the riverOne for the rescueOne for the answerOne for the “no”One for the door He openedOne for the one He closedOne for the day I thought I wouldn’t make itAnd one because—I’m still hereAnd He is still GodCount the stones.
