Lyrics
Verse 1
Like the sun that rises everyday,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the rain that You send,
And every breath that I breathe,
You are so faithful, Lord
Verse 2
Like the rose that comes alive every spring,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the life that You give,
to every beat of my heart,
You are so faithful, Lord.
Pre-Chorus
I see the cross and the price You had to pay,
I see the blood that washed my sins away.
Chorus
In the midst of the storm
through the wind and the waves,
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You'll still be faithful,
You'll still be faithful, Lord.
Meaning & Inspiration
You Are So Faithful is a song that compares God's faithfulness to the dependable rhythms of creation. The first verse says He is faithful like the sun that rises every day, like the rain and every breath, and the second compares it to a rose that comes alive every spring and to the life that gives every heartbeat. A pre-chorus points to the cross, the price paid and the blood that washed away sins.
The chorus says that in the midst of the storm, through the wind and waves, and even when the stars stop shining and time is no more, He will still be faithful. The themes fit Lamentations 3:22-23, Matthew 5:45 on sun and rain, Psalm 36:5 and Hebrews 13:8. The straightforward images and repeated line make it an easy declaration of trust, and the tone is calm and assured.
