Faithfulness of the Lord

Faithfulness* of the Lord along His compassion
Assures me His comfort and presence
Imparts to my heart His goodness
Triumphantly keeps me in His care
Helps me graciously midst trials
Forgives my confessed iniquities
Upon His pardoning blood’s power...
Leading me to His love’s light
Nurturing my spirit by His Word’s nourishment
Earnestly upholding me against hardships
Shaping me toward Christ-likeness
Strengthening my faith to please Him, my God.

*Psalm 89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
