I wanted to express all of My love, that’s what I am 

I wanted to reflect all of My glory in My creation

Here I am: I am the Author of all life

I turn the darkness into light 

I hang the clouds upon the sky

And throw the stars into the night 

I shut the sea behind its shores

To edge of night I bring the dawn 

The hands of time are held by Me

To gates of death I hold the key 

Yesterday, today, forever   Yesterday, today, forever

Long before the world began

I saw your faces, I knew your names
Just like a father loves his child

That’s how I love you, so much love for you

Here I am: I made it all so you could be

In perfect harmony with Me 

But with a falling angel’s cry 

Pride brought an end to paradise
And as through one all turned away

Yet through One all shall be saved 

And just as sin reigned in death 

So grace reigns in righteousness 

Yesterday, today, forever   Yesterday, today, forever

And through My sacrificial child to Me the world is reconciled
Confess His Name and you are seen 

Through His blood that washes clean 

And though you thought in death He failed

It was the reason that He came 

But He died so to be raised

Now at My right hand He now reigns

I’ve promised He shall come again

To judge the living and the dead 

And when that chosen day arrives 

Shall all My glory fill the skies
All shall bow down to His Name, evil shall not live again
And you shall rise up to that place 

I have prepared that now awaits 

Yesterday, today, forever   Yesterday, today, forever
