To Every Generation

(álbum: Friends For Life - 1987)

From the dawning of the world and its wonders
Before the mountains reached the sky
From everlasting to everlasting
You were there through all of time

All my Fathers heard Your call
Through the ages
They made the choice to follow You
You were faithful
To the faithful
They found Your promise to be true

You have been a shelter, Lord
To every generation, to every generation
A sanctuary from the storm
To every generation, to every generation

I was born into Your arms, O my father
There's still a refuge there for me
From my first breath
Drawn from Your breath
You've been my security

You have been a shelter, Lord
To every generation, to every generation
A sanctuary from the storm
To every generation, to every generation

My years go by, before Your eyes
Like days rush into the night
Time would steal every dream I feel
Give my hope a place to hide
All the days of my life

Let my children know Your mercy in the morning
And find Your greatness as they grow
May Your glory be their glory
May Your heart become their home

And You will be a shelter, Lord
To every generation, to every generation
A sanctuary from the storm
To every generation, to every generation
