Great is Thy Faithfulness

As I sit here stressed out about where we are going to go, the Lord brought this to mind. It's the song we had sung at our wedding and the song that someday I want at my funeral. Great is Thy Faithfulness (and Leah if you are reading, this is for you: GRRRRRREAT is thy faithfulness)! Regardless, it is a great reminder that no matter what season we are in in our life: moving, infertility, fear, insecurity, death, new life...the Lord is FAITHFUL.

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.

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

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!


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!

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!

My favorite, too. Had it at our wedding also! Praying with you, and anxious for the day when we will all look back and see how God wove together every detail of this season.
