Faithful Father

I know I don't surprise You
You've known me from the start
My failures and successes
Well, Lord, You've seen them all
With all my resolutions
Still, I stumble now and then
But You remain
Just like You've always been

Faithful, unchangeable
Ever present help when I'm in need
Counselor, Lord You are wonderful
Patient, loving Father to me
In a world lost in uncertainty
I am sure You'll always be
An ever faithful Father
An ever faithful Father to me

And like a child who reaches
For things best left alone
And learns too late the Father
Really knew best all along
You held my hand in sorrow
You helped me to believe
You gently promised
You would always be

Faithful, unchangeable
Ever present help when I'm in need
Counselor, Lord You are wonderful
Patient, loving Father to me
In a world lost in uncertainty
I am sure You'll always be
An ever faithful Father
An ever faithful Father to me

Summer and winter, 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

In a world lost in uncertainty
I am sure You'll always be
An ever faithful Father
An ever faithful Father to me
