The God of our yesterdays and tomorrows

A friend of mine played this song for me today (by Matt Redman) and it touched me so much. It really speaks into our lives at the moment. You can listen to it on http://www.myspace.com/mattredmanmusic

Here are the lyrics:

The God of our yesterdays

When we were in the darkest night
And wondered if our eyes would ever see the light
You were there, Lord
When we were in the stormy gale
And wondered if we’d ever live in peace again
You were there, Lord

You were there in the struggle
You were there in the fight
You were there all the time

We praise you, the God of our yesterdays
We praise you, the God who is here today
We praise you, our God as tomorrow comes

So whatever lies ahead
Whatever roads our grateful hearts will come to tread
You’ll be there, Lord
We will fix our eyes on you
And know that there is grace enough to see us through
You’ll be there, Lord

You’ll be there in the struggle
You’ll be there in the fight
You’ll be there all the time

We praise you, the God of our yesterdays
We praise you, the God who is here today
We praise you, our God as tomorrow comes

We thank you, for grace in our yesterdays
We thank you, for peace in our hearts today
We thank you, our joy as tomorrow comes

We will trust you God

You’re always closer than we know
Always more involved and in control
We will trust our lives to you
The One who was and is and is to come

We praise you, the God of our yesterdays
We praise you, the God who is here today
We praise you, our God as tomorrow comes

We thank you, for grace in our yesterdays
We thank you, for peace in our hearts today
We thank you, our joy as tomorrow comes
We will trust You God

(Spoken)

So we say “We trust You Lord, we trust You with our lives, You are so trustworthy.Your Word says “Those who know Your Name trust in You” and we know Your Name, we know that You are good, You are gracious,You are kind, You are wise, You are in control,You never let go. Thank you Lord. Yesterday, today, forever You’re the same; You never change, You never fail, You never faint. We can trust You, we can trust You.
