Thanks for sharing OBW. I found the song you mentioned on You Tube, and it's wonderful! Strains from Great is Thy Faithfullness begin it, and are imbedded at one point. Are you suggesting a choir blend of that or How Great Thou Art?

I love that you bring some musical ability into the discussion.

I'm adding quote from Lamentations 3:22-24 that inspired the poet who first penned Great is Thy Faithfulness. As it inspires me when I'm tempted to get discouraged (which is often):

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
