Always Was, Always Is

The Story Behind Always Was, Always Is

Always Was, Always Is was inspired by one of the most awe-inspiring truths found in Scripture: God alone is eternal. Before time began, before space existed, before the first star shone or the first galaxy formed, God already was. He has no beginning, no creator, and no end. As the Great I AM, He simply is—and everything that exists came into being because He spoke it into existence.

The song contrasts the ever-changing universe with God's unchanging nature. Galaxies swirl, mountains rise, and time marches relentlessly forward, yet the Lord remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Through sweeping cosmic imagery and a worshipful spirit, the lyrics point beyond the beauty of creation to the Creator Himself.

At its heart, Always Was, Always Is proclaims a simple but profound truth: everything in creation has a beginning—except God. He always was, He always is, and He always will be, forever reigning as King over all that He has made.
