One of my favorite hymns has always been
Great is Thy Faithfulness. The words have such a great message, speaking of God's faithfulness, no matter what. Not only are the words a great encouragement, but the music itself matches the words so well, it's moving. My college band played an arrangement of this song by David Gillingham named
No Shadow of Turning. I absolutely love this arrangement of the song. I couldn't find the entire song online, but
here you can listen to a clip of it. (I wish you could hear the rest of the song...it cuts off right at one of my favorite parts...)
Here are the lyrics
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!
It's such an encouragement! God will keep His promises. He'll always be faithful to me, to everyone who claims His promises.
No Shadow of Turning
