Yesterday and Forever

Yesterday and forever He is the same;
Praise and glory be to His holy name.
The Lord all powerful, of ancient days,
Is the same Lord we still claim today.

The Lord who lead the Jewish nation,
Is the same Lord that brings salvation.
He who created the stars in heaven above,
Is the same who smiles on you with love.

The God that our father’s father knew,
Is the God worshiped by me and you.
God does not change to fit a whim,
Nor does His mighty power grow dim.

The God who’s hand parted the sea,
Is the one that today leads you and me.
The Lord that was with Daniel in the den
Will still be walking with us to the end.

The God that saved Isaac from the knife
Is the very same God that saves our life.
Even though times and man’s hearts change,
God’s is the one thing we can trust to be the same.

Yesterday and forever His word is the same.
Yesterday and forever His promise is the same.
Yesterday and forever His will is the same.
Yesterday and forever His love is the same.
No matter what happens or what we claim,
The Lord our God will always be the same.
