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
