Great Is Thy Faithfulness

If there ever was a song that I could sing every day as a hymn of thankfulness to The Lord, this would be it. Such richness of meaning is included in it's lyrics that touches my soul.

Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with thee,
Thou changest not, Thy compassions fail not, 
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Refrain:
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 faithfulness, LOrd unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above; 
Join with all nature in manifold witness, 
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Refrain

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, 
Thine own great precence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside. 

Refrain

I love the refrain the most. For it is so true, each morning there are new mercies that 
He provides. From family and food, to my job and my church. Not to mention the knowing 
and feeling of his very presence that touches my own spirit.
All I have needed, his hand has provided. I lack nothing that I need, he has seen fit to give me all. And that which I do not have, He knows why I don't need it at this time. 

I also love the reminder that the Lord never changes. As he has been, as I have learned him, so he shall ever be. His grace, His mercy will never run out. His compassions never fail. What a promise!  


How great is our God! Great is his faithfulness!
