Lyrics
Everlasting God
The years go by but you're unchanging
In this fragile world
You are the only firm foundation
Always loving, always true
Always merciful and good, so good
Yesterday today and forever
You are the same, you never change
Yesterday today and forever
You are faithful and we will trust in You
Uncreated One
You have no end and no beginning
Earthly power fades
But there is no end to Your kingdom
Always loving, always true
Always merciful and good, so good
Yahweh, God unchanging
Yahweh, firm foundation
Yahweh, God unchanging
Yahweh, firm foundation

Meaning & Inspiration
“Everlasting God” centers on the constancy of God while everything earthly changes. The opening contrast between a fragile world and a firm foundation gives the song its main confession: divine love, mercy, goodness, and faithfulness do not fade with time. Its repeated declaration that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever turns that assurance into praise rather than speculation about circumstances.
The lyrics also present God as uncreated, without beginning or end, and set His enduring kingdom against temporary human power. The name Yahweh reinforces the song’s focus on God’s revealed identity and dependable character. Hebrews 13:8 closely echoes the refrain about being unchanged across yesterday, today, and forever, while Psalm 90:2 supports the language of God existing before creation and remaining God eternally. Together, these themes make the song a steady expression of trust grounded in who God is.
