You say, my love is like dew falling,
When the day has just begun.
A mist that gathers in the morning,
Burnt off with the sun.
But you are constant in your care,
Unfailing as the sunrise that illuminates the sky,
Don't let this wonder pass me by,
Don't let me ever take my eyes
From looking to your constant love.
Let me stand, with my palms upraised,
As a sign of a heart engaged
And a mind inquiring after you.
Let me speak with sincerity,
Let me act with integrity,
Let the mercy I show be the worship I bring to you.
- From Your Constant Love by Dave Thompson
This is a new worship song that one of our Fitzroy writers Dave Thompson has written for our series in the Old Testament book of Hosea; it is set in chapter 6 of Hosea’s prophecy. I have come to love its holistic approach of heart and mind and actions and worship. It also brings out that juxtaposition of God’s unfailing love and the obligation of believers to respond in new living. The poetry is beautiful too and so is the tune that you sadly can’t hear!
