God of Our Yesterdays

There are many songs that I would include on the soundtrack of my life but I think that I have found the one that would be my theme song. The first time I heard this song, I was immediately brought to tears. It speaks to tenderly to what my personal journey has been. I know that people often post lyrics and it may be tempting to just skip them but please take a moment to look over these. They are my testimony.

God of Our Yesterdays
by: Matt Redman
We were in the darkest night,
And wondered if our eyes would ever see the light,
You were there, Lord,
We were in the storm again,
And wondered if we’d ever live in peace again,
You were there, Lord,
You were there is the struggle,
You were there in the fire,
You were there all the time.

Praise you, the God of our yesterdays,
Praise you, the God who is here today,
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,
And 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 is the struggle,
You’ll be there in the fight,
You’ll be there all the time.

Praise you, the God of our yesterdays,
Praise you, the God who is here today,
Praise you, our God, as tomorrow comes.
We thank you for grace in our yesterdays,
We thank you for peace in our hearts today,
And 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!

Praise you, the God of our yesterdays,
Praise you, the God who is here today,
Praise you, our God, as tomorrow comes.
We thank you for grace in our yesterdays,
We thank you for peace in our hearts today,
And thank you, our Joy, as tomorrow comes,
We will trust you, God.

I was looking for these lyrics and came across them on your blog. Just wanted to leave a comment and thank you for posting them. They are powerful, are they not? I was wanting to put them in a post I'm writing, mainly for my mom right now. Anyways, thanks again and God bless.

Hello, I Googled "God of Our Yesterdays" and I found your blog. Here it is election day and my heart is rejoicing because this song came up on my IPOD. I wanted the lyrics and I found your blog. It was so refreshing to read your words "God is UP to something". I needed that reminder today. The words to the song also speak to my heart. I noticed that you haven't blogged since March. I do hope things are okay with you and that you are seeing His work in progress in your life. Have a great day! God is good! Visit my Blog www.myprayergarden.blogspot.com
