Description: Thousands of years ago, David said, ““Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” (Psalm 139:16) God knows every one of our days and holds them in his hand before we even live them. Looking back at 2020, that might be a difficult truth to grasp. But it’s still true. The foundation for our hope lies in one place: the promises of God revealed fully to us in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If God would give his only Son to pay for our sins, how will he not also give us every good thing? (Rom. 8:32) Even when those “good things” look like 2020, we can be confident God is using them for our eternal joy and his eternal glory. That is just the knowledge we need to give us faith and hope as we look forward to 2021. This past year one of the Sovereign Grace songwriters, Dave Fournier, brought a set of lyrics to our songwriting retreat called, “All of Our Tomorrows,” eventually set to a beautiful tune by Ryan Foglesong. The song is a prayer that acknowledges and prays for God’s careful, wise, personal, and faithful involvement in the lives of those Christ has redeemed. It speaks to our need for guidance in the future, comfort in loss, and strength for all our days. We recorded a simple video of the song this year and plan to record a full version next year. We pray God would use this song and the truth it proclaims as a means of faith, comfort, and hope for all of your tomorrows. Lyrics: This spinning world by Your own hand Hurls ever on around the sun The seasons march at Your command The old departs, the new year comes And though celestial is Your gaze You search and care for all our ways We offer up to You this day And all of our tomorrows May zealous youth and cautious age Determine not the steps we choose Great Shepherd, guide us through each day Oh, how we want to follow You Come Living Way, our way make clear Let perfect love drive out our fear Be Thou our vision, now and here And all of our tomorrows When winter makes us reminisce Of warmer days so distant now Of cherished saints the sun once kissed Whose beauty passed behind the clouds Let all our fond and longing tears Remind us we are pilgrims here We trust You, Sovereign of our years With all of our tomorrows Hands to the plow, we’re pressing on And running hard to win the prize Empowered by the love of God With grace before and grace behind For lo, what hope before us stands You finish all that You began Eternal joy is in Your hands And all of our tomorrows Download the chord chart: sovereigngracemusic.org/2020/12/all-of-our-tomorrows Written by Dave Fournier and Ryan Foglesong Vocals: McKenzie Fuller Piano: Bob Kauflin Produced and edited by Grace Nixon Filmed by Bekah Heid and Grace Nixon Assistant engineering: Caleb Grunau © 2020 Sovereign Grace Worship/ASCAP, Sovereign Grace Praise/BMI (adm. worldwide at CapitolCMGPublishing.com, excluding the UK & Europe which is adm. by Integrity Music).
