Your Steadfast Love

My sins are many and am at times overwhelmed by shame
But your steadfast love endures forever
My doubts regularly assail me even when your promises I claim
But your steadfast love endures forever
My thoughts when not taken captive from sin I fail to abstain
But your steadfast love endures forever
My emotions ebb-and-flow and more often leave me in pain
But your steadfast love endures forever
My words spoken in haste, angrily, unseasoned, and in vain
But your steadfast love endures forever
My actions immature, foolish, and done with much disdain
But your steadfast love endures forever
My will done selfishly when in your words I do not remain
But your steadfast love endures forever

Your steadfast love endures forever because of who you are
You steadfast love endures forever even when I’ve gone afar
Your steadfast love endures forever and it cannot be outlawed
Your steadfast love endures forever for you are a faithful God

Your steadfast love surrounds me, no matter where I go
It goes before and behind me, your love is always on show
Your steadfast love has won me over, it makes my life glow
With the radiance of your lavish love that on me you bestow

So I give thanks to your for loving me as steadfastly as you do
Greater love has no one than this, and this love am diving into
Your steadfast love is transforming me into something new
I look into your word and it says, “I’m becoming just like you.”
