Verse 1

The things of earth only last for a season

Dust to dust it passes away

And in the end God You alone endure

You fulfill all You have spoken

What You've said is done in Your name

And in the end Your Word alone endures


Chorus 1

You do not change like shifting shadows

As steady as the morning sun

When all is fading You remain

You stay the same forever faithful


Verse 2

You've given life now we live eternal

What You provide is perfect and good

Through it all we have a hope secure


You do not change like shifting shadows

As steady as the morning sun

When all is fading You remain

You stay the same forever faithful


We stand upon Your ev'ry promise

For You have never not come through

When all is failing You remain

You stay the same forever faithful


Bridge

From everlasting to everlasting God You reign

We stand in wonder forever singing highest praise

From everlasting to everlasting God You reign

We stand in wonder forever singing highest praise
