Quietly Waiting... Great is His Faithfulness!

Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.

Lamentations 3:21-26

 

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.

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
thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! Refrain.
 

Hymn written by Thomas Obediah Chisholm (1866-1960)

"Great is Thy Faithfulness" is a worship song that uplifts through trials and tough times. It was a result of a writer's daily experiences and realization of God's faithfulness. This hymn has meant alot to me personally, and has been of great comfort in our new journey as I am reminded of His faithfulness!
