words to a true song

Great is Thy Faithfulness, Oh God my Father

There is no shadow of turning with Thee

Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not

As Thou has been, Thou forever wilt be.

 

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see,

All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided,

Great is Thy Faithfullness, Lord unto me.

 

Summer and Winter, Springtime and Harvest

Sun, Moon and stars in their courses above

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy Great Faithfullness, Mercy and Love

 

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see,

All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided,

Great is Thy Faithfullness, Lord unto me.

 

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide

Strength for today and Bright hope for tomorrow

Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.

 

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see,

All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided,

Great is Thy Faithfullness, Lord unto me.

 

 

The person who penned those words, was able to confidently sit still in the place of rest that is always provided by our Father. To be able to always be that confident would be a dream come true, but it really is possible. It should be my default, but it's so often the 'Oh Yeah, I forgot about that…'

Thanks for the reminder, even though you blogged it before I knew I needed it.
