\n\nGOD\u2019S FAITHFULNESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout my days my path\u2019s been marked
By God, my Father\u2019s, loving heart.
He\u2019s ordered every step with care.
I\u2019ve met His goodness everywhere.
When I was lost and knew Him not,
Prevenient grace marked every spot;
And angels came for God\u2019s elect,
Though in rebellion, to protect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then in the time and at the place
Which God had purposed by His grace,
The Spirit came and made me live.
God caused His chosen to believe.
Through all my days, since first I saw
That Jesus Christ is all in all,
My Savior has in faithfulness
Sustained and kept me by His grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When fallen, He restores my soul,
Forgives my sin, and still upholds
His erring child with love and grace,
And proves His cov\u2019nant faithfulness.
When sick, my Savior makes my bed
And soothes my aching, fainting head.
And when I leave this world of woe,
To God, my faithful God, I\u2019ll go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No more to sin, no more to sigh.
The tears you see will soon be dry.
When I have dropped this robe of flesh,
I\u2019ll leave behind all signs of death!
Immortal life awaits my soul!
When I\u2019m with Christ, I shall be whole!
Conformed to Him who died for me
With Him, at last, I shall be free!
