We serve a Great God

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.

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!

His mercy and grace to us - to me - is unfathomable. That the God who is holy and perfect, created the universe with a word, could look at me before the world began and see how I would fail Him, spit in His face, despise His teachings and His ways, even after He saved me, and yet still send His only Son to DIE to redeem me and bring me in as a beloved child...There are not words to describe that kind of love and mercy.
