Remembered this song from yesteryears from a Christian singer called Bobby Michaels, who has since passed on. I used to play it often in my early walk with Jesus. I played it again today and discovered the words mean as much to me today as it did so many years ago. I especially love the part, 'and in every situation He has proved His love to me; when I lack the understanding He gives more grace to me.'
Lord, thank you for your stubborn love over me. For not giving up on me. For proving your love over and over again in my life even when I least deserved it. For keeping your promise even when I failed in keeping mine. For being patient when I've thrown tantrums like a child. For loving me completely, unconditionally and perfectly.
My Redeemer is Faithful and True
As I look back on the road I've travelled,
I see so many times He's carried me through;
And if there's one thing that I've learned in my life,
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Chorus
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My heart rejoices when I read the promise
'There is a place I am preparing for you.'
I know someday I'll see my Lord face to face,
'Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Bridge
And in every situation He has proved His love to me;
When I lack the understanding, He gives more grace to me.
