About Here to Stay

Here to Stay is a song about the faithfulness of God. No matter what happens – sickness, death, loss, or war – He still remains!

This song was written during a particularly trying time for our congregation – COVID was resurging, the war in Ukraine was just breaking out, and we lost a member of our community to suicide. This song became a reminder for us of God’s faithfulness despite it all!

Lyrics

Verse 1
Where do I turn to
Where do I run
When my mind says it's over
You say it's not done

In all of the chaos
When the war has begun
When the world says it's over
I know you're not done

Chorus
You're the God of the future
The God of the past
The God of the moment
Wherever I'm at

Your victory is final
It can't be undone
The story's been written
The battle's been won

You're the God of today
You're the God here to stay
You're the God of today
You're the God here to stay

Verse 2
So where do we turn to
Where do we run
When the world says it's over
We know you're not done

Chorus
You're the God of the future
The God of the past
The God of the moment
Wherever I'm at

Your victory is final
It can't be undone
The story's been written
The battle's been won

You're the God of today
You're the God here to stay
You're the God of today
You're the God here to stay

Bridge
When sickness takes control
He remains, He remains

When death is all I know
He remains, He remains

When religion shuts the door
He remains, He remains

When I can't pray anymore
He remains, He remains

When I've lost all that I know
He remains, He remains

When kingdoms come and go
He remains, He remains

When my faith is at a loss
He remains, He remains

When we nailed him to a cross
He remains, He remains

Chorus
You're the God of the future
The God of the past
The God of the moment
Wherever I'm at

Your victory is final
It can't be undone
The story's been written
The battle's been won

You're the God of today
You're the God here to stay
You're the God of today
You're the God here to stay
