I can't scream this enough! I see new mercies everyday, my shortcomings notwithstanding. Indeed, His loving kindness is better than life. Nigeria is currently witnessing her worst economic days, but God's lavish mercy and faithfulness has kept His saints economically afloat. When I consider how He provides my daily needs, protects me, keeps and heals me in this hard time, I can't but admit that His faithfulness is never ending; not in time or eternity.

Great is thy faithfulness O FAITHFUL MERCIFUL GREAT GOD. I cannot breathe without you, take a step alone, I just can't. I live by your mercies and I am proud because I have a heavenly Father who cares for me. THANKYOU.

I took the stock of my life this morning. And I was left with nothing but inner tears of confusion and wonders because it can only be GOD. "All that I needed, GOD's hand has provided". I will keep shouting, " Great is thy faithfulness, oh GOD my father. Praise God!!!!!.

When we believed in the Lord Jesus, we might have expected to have peace and blessing. But instead we might have had many troubles and might have lost our security, our health, or our possessions. When some Christians experience such things, they may question God's faithfulness and ask why He did not prevent hardships from happening to them.

We need to realize that in allowing us to have troubles, God is faithful in His purpose to turn us from idols and bring us back to Himself. Our peace, safety, health, and possessions may become idols to us, and God is faithful to take these things away so that we may drink of Him as the fountain of living waters. If our house or our possessions become idols to us, we drink of them and not of God. God's faithfulness is a matter of dealing with these idols and causing us to drink of Him.

God is faithful in leading us into His economy, and His economy is for us to drink Christ, to eat Christ, to enjoy Christ, to absorb Christ, and to assimilate Christ that God may have His increase with us to fulfill His economy. This is God's faithfulness.

Instead of drinking of God as the fountain of living waters, Israel drank of their idols. Therefore, God used the Babylonians to deal with these idols and also to destroy Jerusalem and even the temple, which had become an idol to them. We need to see that we are not better than Israel. Anything can become an idol to us. But God is faithful in fulfilling His economy. In His faithfulness He deals with our idols that we may drink of Him. We all need to drink of God as the fountain of living waters, receiving Christ into us and assimilating Him, so that He may increase for the fulfillment of God's economy to have His expression through His counterpart.

Whereas God is faithful, we are neither faithful nor chaste but go to many other husbands. After failing God, we may receive some mercy and grace and therefore repent and weep, saying, "How pitiful I am! For a long time I have not loved the Lord very much, and I have not attended the meetings." While we are repenting and weeping, God is rejoicing. However, if we repent and weep too much, even our repentance may become an idol. We may testify in a meeting, saying that we have thoroughly repented to God. But this may be a matter of self-boasting and be a self-made idol. Therefore, after repenting, we should begin to drink of the living waters, praising God, giving thanks to Him for everything, and enjoying Him. This is what God wants. God is not interested in anything other than our enjoyment of Christ.

Year after year we sing these hymns, yet sometimes never understand what led the author to that point in their life when they wrote the song. Furthermore, after a hymn has been sung so many times, people can begin to lose sight of the meaning of each perfectly positioned verse. If you are anything like me, you may have even memorized certain hymns while never really understanding what the words truly meant or how the hymn came to reach the pages of a hymnal. What if we could uncover the hidden story behind these hymns? What would we find?

And all my life You have been faithful

And all my life You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

With all the additional moving parts that come with planning a worship service, we want you to have the peace of mind of knowing that your team is going to show up fully prepared, knowing every part for each of the songs on your set.

But In a world where we see unfaithfulness and betrayal all the time its easy to fall into a pit and start thinking and believing that God might not be faithful either. We might look back at our life and look at the moments of failure and hard times we went through and wonder Is God really faithful? Maybe we started to believe a lie: Because we got sucked into the world and started being faithless we blew his faithfulness and now He might not be faithful either anymore.

When I look back at my own life I see moments where things were really hard. There were times were I was bullied in school were friends walked away from me, God never did. He was right with me in those hard moments. Why did those things happen then you might ask. People have free will and make choices. Some of them affect others in a bad way. But even when that happens God is still right there with us and he is still faithful. He is faithful in the good and bad moments in our life.

One of the hardest challenges of the Christian walk is waiting for God to answer our prayers when we urgently need Him to intervene in a circumstance that is breaking our heart, testing our faith, and robbing us of peace and joy. I have been on my knees many times with my Bible in hand, tearfully reminding God of His promises when my husband and I were in a financial crisis, a friend was stricken with a life-threatening disease, or one of my children was in trouble.

And for years, many of my prayers have been centered on my own need for a miracle. In 2017, after 20 years of pain, I had back surgery to un-pinch my spinal cord, replace deteriorated discs, and straighten my back. The surgery was the answer to my prayers in many ways. I am grateful every day that I can now walk without leg pain and do many of the things I love, like working in my garden, standing long enough to bake cookies with my granddaughter, and traveling to speak for World Vision. However, the trauma to the nerves in my back is taking much longer to heal, and I continue to cry out to God.

I was a new believer when I became completely hooked hearing Sara Groves sing "The Word." Sara's albums have received well-deserved acclaim for her premier songwriting ability. Sixteen years ago, Sara's major label debut album Conversations led to her nomination for Best New Artist. She has followed up each album with her next "best" album. Her last album Floodplain was one of my top 10 albums of 2015. This year, Sara has returned with Abide With Me, a collection of hymns recorded in Sara's signature style at a 105 year old church converted into a studio, Art House in Minnesota.

"My last album found me on the Floodplain reflecting on the kind provision that comes when I find myself in a place where I cannot rescue myself," says Groves. "Abide With Me is a collection of hymns and songs that were with me on the Floodplain. A highlight for me was re-tracking 'He's Always Been Faithful' with piano, upright bass and woodwinds. My bandmates and I guesstimate that we have played that song well over 1,000 times, and these days it is loaded with the memories of 20 years of making music." I had the chance to speak with Sara about "He's Always Been Faithful."

Please tell me the personal story behind this song.

This is a full-circle moment. Some of my first songs I wrote while I was still teaching before I recorded. I remember with this song, in particular, my husband Troy and I, through no fault of our own but life, had a pretty big financial mountain in front of us. I sat down to write a "sorrow about the world" kind of song. I remember my grandfather had recently passed at the time, and he had been a church planter. He was full of stories of him feeling like he was supposed to drive somewhere, then he did, and amazing things happened. There were those types of stories left and right.

I have written many songs of lament over the years, but I felt like God was telling me to look through the snapshots of my life: "if you can find a situation where you've been left high and dry, you can write a song of woe at this point, or you can write a song of provision." I thought of "Great is Thy Faithfulness," which I had sung at my wedding, and it was sung at my grandfather's funeral, and I wrote this song.

My deepest gratitude about this song is that I was able to write it and say it. I definitely orient from a place of fear. I am much afraid of the time, and I am often in a place of worry. I feel grateful as this is the most resonant song I've been part of, and I got to write it before I saw that happen. I wrote the song, and it brought me peace at the moment, and within 48 hours the financial situation we were facing was miraculously resolved in a totally unexpected way.

Which Bible verses connect to the message of the song?

John 14:16 (NKJV): "And I will pray for the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever."

Psalm 62:5 (NKJV): "My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him."

Hosea 6:3 (VOICE): "So let's know Him; let's strive to know the Eternal. As surely as the sun rises, He'll come out from His lair. As surely as the rains come each year--those spring rains that drench the earth--He'll come back to us."

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV): "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."

Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV): "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NIV): "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."

What is the takeaway message?

I have carried this song's message with me over the past 20 years of making music. I made my first album in 1997. I originally recorded this song in 1998. This time it was recorded at the Art House, where my husband and I have been on this adventure since 2011. We've been doing Art and Community, and this past summer we converted it into a recording studio and recorded this album of hymns. I knew I wanted to end the album with this song.

I thought about doing a re-working of the song, but instead, we recorded it like the first time: me at the piano, but this time with the culmination of 20 years of stories that now are connected to the song that people have shared with me. That first time it was just me saying "all I have need of, His hand will provide," and now to come to the verse 20 years later, "This is my anthem, this is my song, the theme of the stories I've heard for so long, God has been faithful, He will be again:" it was emotional and powerful for me to think about all of the stories I've heard about the song over the years. There's more life behind the song now, and it is a full-circle moment. We did rough math that we've sung the song over 1,500 times over the years.

Lyrics:

Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Morning by morning I wake up to find

The power and comfort of God's hand in mine

Season by season I watch Him, amazed

In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He's always been faithful to me

I can't remember a trial or a pain

He did not recycle to bring me gain

I can't remember one single regret

In serving God only, and trusting His hand

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He's always been faithful to me

This is my anthem, this is my song

The theme of the stories I've heard for so long

God has been faithful, He will be again

His loving compassion, it knows no end

All I have need of, His hand will provide

He's always been faithful, He's always been faithful

He's always been faithful to me

This is truly a great album and a moving and prayerful listening experience, reflecting how we are bound together as believers in faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Sometimes we have a tendency to think we can try to know everything. God tells us in the Bible that with faith, we can do anything in Christ. One of the lessons I've seen about life is that we shouldn't wait to fix ourselves before we step out in faith. We need to fully trust God.

Look for ways to obey God and to offer your faith to Him. Jesus promises us in Matthew 11:29-30 that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Jesus came to claim us and set us free from the burden of sin. This hymns album really engages me from start to finish in my own time of worship and reflection about the attributes of God. The beauty of grace is that it is not something we deserve or can earn, but it is a free gift from our great God. This song challenges me to want to know God more deeply, and to have more faith and security in my relationship with God. The whole song and album is about crying out for God's presence and desiring to know Him personally.

So many people can relate to the message of this great song, and the song convicts me to know in my heart the biblical truth from Jeremiah in Lamentations 3:22-23: God's mercy is new each day, and it is not based on our performance or what we can do for God. He pours out His mercy despite what we've done. There's nothing we can do except trust Him. Remember the gift of His grace: as followers of Jesus we are sinners saved, morning by morning. It is a great reminder of what's most important. The song is a daily reminder for me that "In serving God only and trusting His hand, all I have need of His hand will provide. He's always been faithful to me." Amen to that!
