The song started with God challenging me to sing at the keyboard one day when praying for a friend who was going through some very difficult things. It's a song that is highly appropriate for anyone going through hard times,  as the Psalmist cries out to the Lord in anguish, declaring God's strength, and that He is our Rock and refuge.

Hear my cry - Psalm 61

Everything in life is changing and transitory . . . except the Lord, who is from everlasting to everlasting. He remains the same, and His years will never end. (Ps. 102:27 NIV). This beautiful and powerful song is based on verses 18 and 27 of Psalm 102, and celebrates the wonderful truth that before our world came into existence, God already was.

He is the ‘Ancient of Days’ and He, like His Son Jesus, are the same yesterday, today and forever. May the Lord root this glorious truth ever deeper in our hearts – and let it be written (and sung!) in the generations to come, so that a people not yet created may praise Him.

This arrangement of Huw’s song, by Justin Coldstream, is sung by Megan Topper, accompanied by Justin Coldstream (keyboard), Francis Cummings, Philippa Barton, Christiane Mueller, Jo Garcia (strings), Anthony Thompson (trumpet), Peter Richards (French horn).
