Psalm 146: A Faithful Friend

 Faithful is the Lord of all
 Even to us of the fall.
 Food and shelter does he give,
 Freedom’s light to help us live.
 Faithful is the God on high,
 For our sins he came to die,
 Lifting up those stooped so low -
 Love eternal here to know.
  
 But instead I oft’ trust man,
 Taking comfort where I can.
 Longing for a faithful touch,
 Longing to be loved through much,
 Seeking for a constant friend,
 One to whom my heart can bend,
 One for me whose love is true,
 Near to me in old and new.
  
 But such friends can never be
 A friend so true to set me free,
 Free from sin and darkest night,
 Free from life’s bleak evil plight.
 True hope cometh from above,
 From hands stained by crimson love.
 Praises then on high I lift
 For your love’s eternal gift.
