Great Is Thy Faithfulness
words by Thomas O Chisholm, music by William M. Runyan
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. 
Summer and winter, and spring-time 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! 
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!
“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.” Lamentations 3:22,23

I’ve always loved this great hymn of old. It’s one of those that you find singing as you work. Also appropriate to include it in with family photos of the kids enjoying nature in one of it’s nicest forms. Similar to my own experience yesterday here at the house with all the grandkids and extras over here. We had 13 children in and out of the house playing with simple things like old jungle gyms, climbing trees, picking berries off the bushes and little cherry tomatoes from the last of this year’s tomato plants. We’ve been so blessed, Joy. The two of us. So glad our Father faithfully has been there with us as our families have grown to become lovers of Christ!
To have your family love Jesus is one of the greatest blessings of all. So glad you are enjoying a special time with your grandchildren these beautiful Fall days. God is faithful and His love is unfailing. Blessings to you.

This is worship and a praise wrapped up in this post, on a Monday. Oh the lingering praise from yesterday, right here. Beautiful.
Oh I do love to hear and sing the old hymns of praise. They just seem to lift my spirit and fill me with peace and joy. May you rejoice all week long with a song in your heart.

This fills me up, friend. My favorite verse complimenting one of my favorite hymns…Yes. I’m full. thank you!
Nikki, I know Jesus smiles as you walk with Him holding His hand. You have such a sweet and trusting spirit. May you be filled with “strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow” as you follow His way. Love and hugs,
