Great Is Thy Faithfulness

 Lamentations 3:22-23  It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not

[23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.


Just as every new day brings it’s problems, so each day witnesses a new, unfailing, all-sufficient supply of God’s marvelous, matchless, wonderful, amazing grace.


God’s faithfulness is seen in the fact that we woke up this morning in our right minds with air to breath, food to eat, people we love around us, etc.  


Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,  —    There is no shadow of turning with Thee.  —    Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not.  —    As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.


CHORUS:

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.


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, with ten thousand beside.


Thomas O. Chisholm  1923
