Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'd always been good to me
Always been good to me
Ever since I can remember
Even when I was far away
Your love came running after me
Even when I was far away
You were still near me

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness

I can remember when I was little
didn't know anything
You say faith like a child

Love of a perfect Father
Casts all my fears
Love of a perfect Father
ohh it draws me near

Great is thy faithfulness
You'd always been faithfull
Great is thy faithfulness
in all times, in all ways
Great is thy faithfulness
I don't have to worry about a thing
