Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When fear's so overwhelming
I can feel it in my skin
And the bitterness of losing faith
Like poison on my lips
When life feels like a never-ending
Weight upon my soul
Oh, I need You, Oh Lord
Your steadfast love never ceases
Your goodness God
Calling me to rest
Your mercy just when I need it
How great is Your faithfulness
The weight of every sin
Is closing in on human bones
As the Son of God was dreaming about
What tomorrow holds
The night so overwhelming
Blood and water start to flow
Oh, not my will
Oh, but Yours
Your steadfast love never ceases
Your goodness God
Calling me to rest
Your mercy just when I need it
How great is Your faithfulness
I'll sing the song
Of the wounded One
Oh, not my will
Father, Yours be done
In Your mercy
You have wounded me
And by Your wounds
Jesus, I am healed
Oh, by Your wounds
Jesus, I am healed
Your steadfast love never ceases
Your goodness God
Calling me to rest
Your mercy just when I need it
How great is Your faithfulness
How great is Your faithfulness, God
How great is Your faithfulness
