And to think that "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" is from Lamentations, of all the Books in the Bible.
The Lamentations of Jeremiah are so sad, so depressing, about the Destruction of Jerusalem...
But then out pops this wonderful hymn of Praise!
Thank you for posting that! One of my all-time favorite hymns... I was blessed several times to sing it as a solo in my old church choir... I had to go and find it on YouTube to listen and sing along! What a blessing to me (and I can still hit the notes with a bit of work! LOL That made me happy!) Thank you again for posting and reminding me of it. I am now filled with joy and strength! How amazing when one sings to the Lord and how it lifts one’s soul!
Here is a link to Sandi Patti’s incredible version for those who wish to hear it:

And here are the full lyrics, just for good measure! :)
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
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 wilt 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 beside!
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!
