Lisa Waites has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Through All Of Our Days.
"Through All Of Our Days" is a contemporary worship hymn written by Lisa Waites in 2022. It was originally composed for Ash Wednesday services, but the lyrics work well throughout Lent, and also during times of human transition (Baptisms, Confirmations, Covenanting Services, and Funerals).
Lisa writes: "The lyrics are embedded into the video for ease of digital use in congregational settings. You are welcome to use this piece in your church or small group, but please consider making a donation to Servant Song Music & Ministry, or purchasing the sheet music (in Piano/Vocal/Guitar format) at Sheet Music Plus (www.sheetmusicplus.com), to help cover costs so that this musical work can continue.
Thank you, and may God use this simple hymn to bless and encourage you. Your life matters! You were created for a good purpose, and you are loved extravagantly and graciously by God through every single day of your life."

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
We have come from the dust and to dust we’re returning,
We’re formed out of starlight, we’re creatures of time –
We are made in your image, redeemed by your mercy,
By the pow’r of the Spirit, in Christ’s love we shine!
[Chorus]
We will dance, we will sing, give you praise, offering
Our hearts and our bodies, our souls and our minds;
We will laugh, we will cry, we’ll live and we’ll die,
From beginning to end, we’re surrounded by grace
And you love us through all of our days.
[Verse 2]
We will learn how to live as disciples of Jesus,
We’ll pray and we’ll study the truth of your Word –
We were born for your glory, baptized as your children,
We will follow the Spirit, and live what we’ve heard!
[Chorus]
We will dance, we will sing, give you praise, offering
Our hearts and our bodies, our souls and our minds;
We will laugh, we will cry, we’ll live and we’ll die,
From beginning to end, we’re surrounded by grace
And you love us through all of our days.
[Verse 3]
We have come from the dust, and to dust we’re returning,
We’re ashes from ashes, frail creatures of time –
Yet we’re made in God’s image, secure in your blessing,
By the pow’r of the Spirit, we’ll forever shine!
[Chorus]
We will dance, we will sing, give you praise, offering
Our hearts and our bodies, our souls and our minds;
We will laugh, we will cry, we’ll live and we’ll die,
From beginning to end, we’re surrounded by grace
And you love us through all of our days.
[Tag Ending]
Oh, you hold us, sustain us in grace -
Yes, you love us through all of our days.
