What a Faithful God I Have
A Reflection on Lamentations 3:22-23 and Deuteronomy 7:9
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
What a faithful God I have—not a distant, changing force,
But a covenant‑keeping Father, a steady, loving source.
Through every season, every trial, every shadow, every light,
His faithfulness endures—a never‑failing, burning bright.
Faithful when I stumble, when my own strength fails the test.
Faithful when I wander, when I cannot find my rest.
Faithful in the waiting, in the silence and the pain.
Faithful in the harvest, in the sunshine and the rain.
He does not change with circumstances, nor His promise break.
He is not a man that He should lie, nor sleep, nor slumber, nor forsake.
When I am faithless, He remains—for He cannot deny Himself.
His faithfulness is not a trophy on a distant, dusty shelf.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations. (Deuteronomy 7:9)
From generation to generation, His faithfulness is told.
To Abraham, to Moses, to the young and to the old.
In the wilderness, He provided; in the furnace, He was there.
On the cross, He purchased freedom; from the grave, He rose to cheer.
I look back at my wanderings, at the years of doubt and fear,
And I see a thread of faithfulness that kept me very near.
Not because I held on tightly, but because You would not let go.
What a faithful God I have—this, my heart has come to know.
So I will sing of His great faithfulness—not because I've earned,
But because His lovingkindness is a lesson I have learned.
What a faithful God I have—my soul, repeat the strain.
His mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness will reign.
Great is Your faithfulness, O God my Father.
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
What a faithful God I have—forever He will be.
Amen.
