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 yesterdays

we praise you

the god who is here today

we praise you

our god as tomorrow comes

and whatever lies ahead

whatever road 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 their all the time

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 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 to come
