\"Eternal<\/a><\/p>\n

God is always faithful and He is always with us. He is ever with us, not just in space: wherever we may go. He is with us in all of time: our past, our present, our future\u2014with us every moment! We can rest in Him and trust Him as He works out His good purposes.<\/p>\n

The heart of man plans his way,<\/em>
\nBut the Lord establishes his steps.<\/em>
\n(Proverbs 16:9)<\/em><\/p>\n

Eternal God Exalted<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

1. Eternal God exalted
\nAbove both time and space;
\nYou hold my life completely,
\nA trophy of Your grace.
\nBoth time and space a canvas,
\nYou craft all history
\nTo show Your grace and power
\nThrough eternity.<\/p>\n

2. You planned before creation
\nMy birth and life and death;
\nIn mercy and in kindness
\nYou give me every breath.
\nYou’re everywhere in fullness,
\nWherever I may go;
\nAnd all my days and moments
\nAll at once You know.<\/p>\n

3. Each day Your Word sustains me,
\nYour Spirit guides and leads;
\nYou never will forsake me,
\nYour grace is all I need.
\nFor time is but a teacher,
\nA patient means of grace
\nThat I might learn to trust You,
\nEver seek Your face.<\/p>\n

4. I need not fear the future
\nFor You’re already there;
\nAnd in the past You’ve brought me
\nThrough every trial and care.
\nIn every present moment
\nYou faithfully are near;
\nSo help me now to trust You,
\nCast away all fear.<\/p>\n
