Great Is Thy Faithfulness


I’m Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire! (Luke 24:32)

Lately I’ve been all cranked up about the old hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”

What powerful, encouraging words!

I decided to learn and memorize all the lyrics, I mean, how many songs do you know ALL the words to, right?

And sometimes the words aren’t worth memorizing, like those hymns where sing “verse 1 and 3, and definitely not 4, but maybe 5.”

Well “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is worth singing and memorizing all the way through.

Just listen.

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.

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!

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!

I hope this causes your heart to burn within you today like it has mine.

The powerful and encouraging hymn, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”

God bless you, today.

I’m Doug Apple.
