seven weeks Lyrics

Seven weeks ago I didn't know

How much my life would change

I just left somewhere familiar

And landed somewhere strange

Seven weeks ago I didn't know

What would happen on this trip

But phone issues and a breakup

Certainly weren't on my list

In seven weeks I've learned that life

Keeps going when I'm gone

And I've learned to share the burdens

That I've held for way too long

There's more for me to learn

But I praise God for how I've seen

His faithfulness through these last seven weeks

Seven weeks ago I didn't know

A single soul in France

Now I thank God for David's family

Every time I get the chance

And seven weeks ago I didn't know

Anyone from Iowa State

But now I'm missing four of them

And the memories we made

In seven weeks I've seen the joy of

Loving who I'm with

And I've seen that joy bring others in

To place their faith in Him

There's so much to rejoice in

And I praise God for how I've seen

His faithfulness through these last seven weeks

Seven weeks ago I didn't know

where God would have me now

Though my plans have been upended

I wouldn't change how things turned out

Because truth be told I know my home

Isn't anywhere on earth

This life is just a missions trip

Until Jesus returns

Oh this life is just a missions trip

Until Jesus returns

In seven weeks I've seen the gospel

Shine into the dark

And light up both a city

And my own unfaithful heart

The memories will fade but God

Remind me how I've seen

Your faithfulness to our little team

And Your faithfulness to those still overseas

And Your faithfulness despite my wandering

And Your faithfulness through these past seven weeks
