Thy hands have made." That was when the Lord brought to mind these words from His Word, "Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23).Years ago [1923] Thomas Obadiah Chisholm used that text as the basis for his enduring hymn, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." I sing all three stanzas of that beautiful text and tune to the Lord frequently during my devotional time. Every phrase is infused with simple, yet at the same time, profound truth about the goodness and grace, tenderness and faithfulness of our wonderful God.
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
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Refrain
Good Morning, Lord! May You be pleased to find me reflecting your great faithfulness, mercy and love to all You bring across my path this good day.
