"You hem me in, behind and before.."

Recalling the mercy of 12/18/2002

Psalm 139:5 "You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me."
 (look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too-- your reassuring presence, coming and going.- The Message )

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

by Thomas Chisholm

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

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!
