The Story Behind the Song

This song was written back in 1999 for the final line-up of Q. We performed it many times, but never got around to recording it. When I began putting together "The Calling," I was listening my way through some old demo tapes that I had made from that time period and found this song, which I had forgotten about. I revised a few lyric lines, and viola! Here it is!

Isn't it great to know that, although we go through many changes, God doesn't? That's one of the things that makes him so incredible-- his consistency. He's always exactly where we need him to be, right by our side.

The Lyrics

Chorus: My life keeps going on and on and on,
but my Lord never changes.
The world keeps spinning round and round and round,
but he never moves away from me.
My life keeps going on and on and on,
but he's not going anywhere.
The world keeps spinning round and round and round,
but he stays the same.

I continue to be amazed
at the things my God can do,
at how a God that I cannot see
can know what I'm going through.
I always think of him as distant,
watching from far away
but he's always been much closer,
because my heart is where he stays.
I'll never be alone
because my Lord is always there.

Chorus

This world is constantly changing
some have to struggle to make it through.
If you remember the Lord is by your side,
there's nothing you cannot do.
He'll bring me through any time in my life
when the world tries to make me doubt.
So I don't worry about bad situations
because I know I've got a way out.
He will carry my burdens.
I put my faith in him.

Chorus

Bridge: Who can you trust if you can't trust God? Nobody!
