Faithful

One of the character traits of God that has always resonated with me is His faithfulness. Even when I don't feel it, or even when I don't see it, he is ALWAYS faithful. I love this song. I sat and really listened to the words last Saturday in front of a fire at the lake. And today I was listening to it again sitting on my grandparents back porch looking at the river. And I love it. I long to be faithful even when I can't see or hear Him. He has taught me that He is always faithful, and I long to be the same.

FAITHFUL
There’s distance in the air

And I cannot make it leave

I wave my arms ‘round about me

And blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close

Though I know you’re always here

But the comfort of you near

Is what I long for

When I can’t feel you

I have learned to reach out just the same

When I can’t hear you

I know you still hear every word I pray

And I want you

More than I want to live another day

And as I wait for you

Maybe I’m made more faithful

All the folly of the past

Though I know it is undone

I still feel the guilty one

Still trying to make it right
So I whisper soft your name

And let it roll around my tongue

Knowing you’re the only one who knows me

You know me

Show me how I should live this

Show me where I should walk

I count this world as loss to me

You are all I want

You are all I want
