Our Daily Bread - Singing Our Prayers

One of the foundations of trusting God to provide what is best for daily bread is trusting in his faithfulness. If God is not faithful, we have nothing. I love the echoes of Lamentations 3:22-24 in the chorus.

***

Great Is Thy Faithfulness (PsH 556)

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.

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,

thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow

blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!  Refrain
