There are many words here on my blog. I’ve had lots to say over the last several years. many, many words.
The truth is, tho’ I enjoy expressing myself with the written word, I have one true love. music.
Previously, I’ve not posted any of my own music here on the site. I’ve kept it simple. But today, I need to share a bit more of myself.
You see, Michael and I are walking a dark valley, watching a friend who is battling cancer. And were it not for this sweet, abiding peace that comes only from the Holy spirit, it would be absolutely devastating. I am grateful on difficult journeys, like this one, that I find He is more real, more present, more loving than I ever imagined.
I could type out the words of the hymn and just leave it at that. But I’d rather give you the song. It is an old hymn that I recorded quite a few years ago, but it truly portrays the Savior I know and love, who is absolutely, incomparably faithful.
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 wilt 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.
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.
