Late Night Note

I just read a Facebook posting that a dear friend has died.
I was working on the computer, and should not even be up this late.
It seems that it cannot even be real.
I will check again in the morning....

In the meantime...
I attended a lovely wedding today, at which Neal Harris played the piano. One of the songs he played, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" really helped to set the tone for worship. It stays with me now.

Theme:
Lamentations 3:22-23
"Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness."

Lyrics:
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Words: Thomas O. Chisholm
Music: “Faithfulness (Runyan),” William M. Runyan
