In this episode, Pastor Joel discusses the popular hymn, "Great is Thy Faithfulness" which was written by Thomas O. Chisholm. Joel also talks about the 2 verses that were added by John Piper.

Verse 1
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

Chorus 1
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

Verse 2
I could not love Thee so blind and unfeeling
Covenant promises fell not to me
Then without warning desire or deserving
I found my Treasure my pleasure in Thee

Verse 3
I have no merit to woo or delight Thee
I have no wisdom or pow'rs to employ
Yet in thy mercy how pleasing thou find'st me
This is Thy pleasure that Thou art my joy

Verse 4
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside
