Unchanging Lord
Hebrews 13:8, KJV
Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
James 1:17, KJV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Unchanging Lord
Today my Lord is very near;
closer He is than yesterday;
yet, as tomorrow dawns, I'll find
Him more familiar than today.
I have no cause to doubt or fear
this God in whom I find no change;
it's sweet to trust His skillful hands
my life's direction to arrange.
It matters not the course He plans;
I need not know what lies in store,
for whether mountainous or plain,
my Guide has walked all paths before.
I am assured He safely leads
the trusting heart on to the goal,
for not one time has Jesus cast
shadows upon my seeking soul.
The God of lights resides in me;
earth's clamoring is lost in peace.
I rest for His transacting love
is working out my soul's release.
My spirit soon will spurn this earth
to draw still nearer to my Lord;
with Him to know as now I'm known,
forever one with my adored.
