Great is thy Faithfulness

 Thomas Obadiah Chisolm (1866-1960)  lived most of his life with illnesses that left him bed-ridden.  When he wasn't ill he would work many odd jobs, just to make ends meet.  At the age of 27 he found faith, and began writing poems expressing his faith.  One of those poems-  Great is Thy Faithfulness, expressed his belief that God was faithful in his life even in the darkest times.

Sometimes it takes a re-listen of a hymn to remember its strength.  Take a listen to this re-arrangement of this familiar hymn .  Fernando Ortega's tender rendition brings about the lyrics, even more than the original. melody.  Enjoy.
