With Gratitude

—Renee Adele Phillips
with Thomas Chisholm (“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”)

Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father,
You have been the only perfect constant in my life–
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
You have always been exactly who You say You are.
Thou changest not,
You are the same God I met in Sunday school,
Thy compassions they fail not,
the same Father who loved me back to life in the face of incredible darkness.
As Thou hast been
You were, then and now, faithful to me.
Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
I can trace Your hand through my whole life–
Great is Thy faithfulness!
so my heart’s refrain is You—only You.
Morning by morning, new mercies I see
One day at a time, You fill my life with blessings;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
You have far surpassed my needs and colored my life with beauty–
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Great is Your faithfulness, Lord unto me!
