GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS ~ O GOD my Father
With You no shadow of turning I see
You never change ~ Your compassion it fails not
As You have been ~ You forever will be !
Summer & Winter and Springtime & Harvest
Sun Moon and Stars in their courses above
Join with all Nature in corporate witness
To Your great Faithfulness ~ Mercy & Love
Pardon for sin and a Peace that's enduring
Your own dear Presence to Cheer and to Guide
Strength for today and bright Hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine ~ with ten thousand beside !
Great is Your Faithfulness ~ Great is Your Faithfulness
Morning by Morning ~ New Blessings I see
All I have needed Your hand has provided
Great is your FAITHFULNESS ~ LORD unto ME !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN
TODAY is Father's Day in the UK. Many of you know the
Responsibility of being a FATHER and a GRANDFATHER.
You must be an Example and an Encourager and also a
Support to all your CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN and
of course your WIFE. I am blessed with a Great Father
who taught me to respect Mankind all Living things the
Environment and to Trust in My Creator GOD ! He also
gave me a Love of Art ~ Music ~ Literature and He also
encouraged me to be a SCIENTIST ! Even though I'm 35
He still supports and guides me and corrects me !
I also have a SPIRITUAL FATHER ~ My Creator GOD
Who guides me through Prayer & His Word the BIBLE
His Presence protects me Day by Day by Day ~ AMEN !
This POEM is based on a HYMN by Thomas Chisolm.

A lovely and true write Brian. Is you 35? You will soon be 117 then! heehee.
THANKS UNCLE STEVE ! Pleased you liked it ~ I have now added the HYMN ~ you might like to revisit ! Yes I will be 100 in 2083 and my Physician assures me that ~ if I don't do anything stupid ~ I should make 100 and I would love to still be alive in the 22nd C ~ AMEN ~ Your NEPHEW BRIAN
It is great Hymn but in the Church Choir of which I am a member the remark often goes round "Oh no, not that one again!"
Good write though and Amen.
THANKS ANDY ~ For a well known and oft performed Hymn it is relatively MODERN (1923) ~ I love singing it with a CHOIR it is so ROBUST ! I know what you mean about Choirs ~ Familiarity breeds contempt even for the most Divine of things ~ like "The Lord's Prayer" I have added the hymn ~ You might like to revisit ! Yours BROTHER BRIAN It featured in a "Thanksgiving Service" I attended on Friday for an Elderly Christian (83) who had been called HOME ~ We had FIVE GREAT HYMNS finishing with "When the Roll is called up Yonder" AMEN !
God is Super Father. He is our spiritual father. Our relationship with him is eternal as we are souls , his children. This is a great poem on Father's Day. May His grace fall on you in abundance.
THANKS PINTU ~ For you encouraging reply ! When we fully understand that GOD is our Spiritual Father it is a great Blessing. Earthly Fathers are great Blessings ~ but there comes the day when they are called Home to Paradise and we miss their guidance and blessing ! But GOD is eternal and is there for us 24/7 long after our Human Parents have gone ! And when we reach Eternity ~ GOD is still there also ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Una bella poesia!
A beautiful poem!
Happy Fatherās Day to your dad! Blessed are you to have a great dad! Dads (and moms) always guide and support their children no matter how old they are!
Enjoy the day with your dad!

Very good read Brian.very inspiring and gives us something to remember on a daily basis
This is a lovely hymn. I was not blessed to have that bond with an earthly father but glad my bond with heavenly father is strong. Great write! Sister Christina
Thanks Brian
