A wonderful promise
God is faithful, what a wonderful promise is this,
a statement of truth, backed up by fact
which is from before the creation of time and space.
The very character of the triune God is portrayed for us in this way.
The covenant once made with man, He keeps what e’er betide.
When they sinned, in love He forgave them, and sought to be their guide
An animal, slain, provided the skin, to cover their guilt and shame,
showing them the cost required to be able to worship Him again.
God is faithful, thus whilst His people often erred and strayed,
He kept His promises although frequently by them He was dismayed.
Calling them back by the Judges and prophets; seeking for them to return,
offering forgiveness if they repent of sin, and their need of Him discern.
Finally, God demonstrated His love by sending His beloved Son,
in human form, thus revealing Himself, as ever, the faithful One.
becoming obedient to death,even to death on a cross,
He has saved us by His grace, at such enormous personal cost.
God is faithful, what a wonderful promise is this,
of this we need be in no doubt; history has proven this.
Such a God deserves our trust and adoration
for He has truly shown Himself to be the Lord of every nation
