Faithful
Chris Tomlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Father to the fatherless
You uphold the one who feels forsaken
You are faithful, God
Faithful, forever You are faithful
Lover of the wounded heart
You defend the poor and the forgotten
And I will sing to the maker of Heaven and Earth
God, You reign forever and Your will endure
Faithful and true is the name of the Lord
You are faithful, God
Faithful, forever You are faithful
Shelter for the fragile soul
You lift us up, You hold us all together
You are faithful, God
You are there in every season of my soul
You are there, You're the anchor that will hold
You are there, in the valley of the shadows
You are faithful, God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. JESUS is the word of God. Last night I had horrible pain in my neck,I have had 5 surgeries on it. I prayed to my father God. I prayed for healing, when I plead the blood of Jesus, I felt it pour over me. I was healed instantly, and felt heat in my neck. There is power in the blood of Jesus. For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son. He is always FAITHFUL.
