Strength Through Songs

There are many things that God uses to strengthen and grow my faith. One of those things is hearing glorious truths about my Savior through the words of songs. Why? Because the faith that Christ gives is not limited to this generation. Many faithful believers in Christ have gone before me. Having walked through the joys and trials of life with a deep faith and knowledge of the God they follow. And along their pilgrimage, they have produced songs. Songs that speak of the glories, faithfulness, love, hope, grace, and wisdom that is Christ. I seek after the same prizes as they. I tread on a path that they once walked. I am carried by the same Lord that carried them. Oh, to marvel at the majesty of God along with Isaac Watts, or trust God through the pain and questions beside John Newton. What tremendous riches of wisdom, comfort, and hope are found in the what these and many more wrote! For, through their words, they lift the curtain to let in the light of the person of Jesus Christ. And I behold the wonder and joy that is Christ!

So then, I am going to share some of these sons to all of you. My hope is that through these songs Christ will become more wonderful and satisfying in your sight! (the truths that really speak to me are in bold)

His Love Can Never Fail

I do not ask to see the way

My feet will have to tread;

But only that my soul may feed

Upon the living Bread.

’Tis better far that I should walk

By faith close to His side;

I may not know the way I go,

But oh, I know my Guide.

Refrain
His love can never fail,

His love can never fail,

My soul is satisfied to know

His love can never fail.

And if my feet would go astray,

They cannot, for I know

That Jesus guides my falt’ring steps,

As joyfully I go.

And tho’ I may not see His face,

My faith is strong and clear,

That in each hour of sore distress

My Savior will be near.

Refrain
His love can never fail,

His love can never fail,

My soul is satisfied to know

His love can never fail.

I will not fear, tho’ darkness come

Abroad o’er all the land,

If I may only feel the touch

Of His own loving hand.

And tho’ I tremble when I think

How weak I am, and frail,

My soul is satisfied to know

His love can never fail.

Refrain
His love can never fail,

His love can never fail,

My soul is satisfied to know

His love can never fail.
