Hi,
This is April and welcome to the April sings a lot podcast where each episode I'll share a story and then a song and invite you to sing along.
I have been struggling mightily,
Mightily lately with fear about the future and I have to constantly remind myself I have strength for today.
And should I face something more difficult in the future,
God will give me strength to face it then.
And the reason when I my imagination,
I get carried away and start to feel overwhelmed and panicked,
The reason I feel that way is because God isn't giving us strength to face what we're imagining.
He's giving us strength to face our reality.
So this is a reminder to myself,
Focus on today.
You and I have strength for today.
And we all have a bright hope for tomorrow.
Now you may have already guessed that our hymn for today is great as thy faithfulness because it actually in that I think it's the second verse is the phrase strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow.
And singing this song has been such a helpful way for me to calm down and I think I think it will help you as well.
So if you would like the lyric video to sing along with I've made a YouTube video and I will link that in the show notes.
But for now,
If you'd like to sing along with me,
Here we go.
Great is thy faithfulness.
Oh 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 will 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.
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.
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 reside.
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.
All right that concludes our episode.
