Lyrics · Lamentations
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Lamentations 3:22-66
[Downbeat Hook]
Great is thy faithfulness,
New every morning, not borrowed from ease.
[Verse 1]
Morning did not ask the night for permission,
Mercy arrived where the ruin still stood.
We are not consumed; compassion has not failed,
The portion of the soul is the LORD who remains.
[Chorus]
Great is thy faithfulness,
New every morning, not borrowed from ease.
Wait in the silence, examine the road,
Lift heart with the hands and confess what is true.
[Verse 2]
He does not afflict from delight in our pain,
He sees when the prisoner’s judgment is bent.
From the low dungeon I called out the Name,
A voice answered near me: Do not fear.
[Bridge]
Plead my cause, but keep vengeance in thine own hand;
Great is thy faithfulness in grief and in judgment.
[Final Chorus]
Great is thy faithfulness,
New every morning, not borrowed from ease.
Lift heart with the hands and confess what is true.
Great is thy faithfulness in grief and in judgment.
