Lyrics
I am broken, I am bleeding,
I'm scared and I'm confused,
but You are faithful.
Yes You are faithful.
I am weary, unbelieving.
God please help my unbelief!
Cuz You are faithful.
Yes You are faithful.
I will proclaim it to the world.
I will declare it to my heart
And sing it when the sun is shining.
I will scream it in the dark.
You are faithful!
You are faithful!
When you give and when You take away,
even then still Your name
is faithful!
You are faithful!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe
You are faithful.
I am waiting for the rescue
that I know is sure to come,
cuz You are faithful.
Yes You are faithful.
I've dropped anchor in Your promises,
and I am holding on,
cuz You are faithful.
God You are faithful.
I will proclaim it to the world.
I will declare it to my heart
And sing it when the sun is shining.
I will scream it in the dark.
You are faithful!
You are faithful!
When you give and when You take away,
even then still Your name
is faithful!
You are faithful!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe You're faithful.
So faithful...
Though I cannot have the answer
that I'm wanting to demand,
I'll remember You are God
and everything is in Your hand.
In Your hands you hold the sun, the moon,
the stars up in the sky,
for the sake of Love, You hung Your own Son
on the cross...to die...
You are faithful...
Yes, You are faithful...
When you give and when You take away,
even then, great is Your faithfulness!
Great is Your faithfulness!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe You're faithful!
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
When you give and when You take away,
even then still Your name
is faithful!
You are faithful!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe...
...You're faithful...

Meaning & Inspiration
Faithful places confession of Gods constancy beside pain, confusion, and unanswered questions. The singer names brokenness, fear, weariness, and unbelief without hiding them, then repeatedly answers each condition with the declaration that God remains faithful. That contrast gives the song its central tension: faith is voiced not because suffering has ended, but while rescue is still awaited. The plea for help with unbelief closely recalls the father who speaks to Jesus in Mark 9.
The chorus also echoes Jobs response to loss in its reference to God giving and taking away. Later, the image of an anchor fixed in divine promises conveys endurance, while the bridge submits unanswered demands to Gods sovereign care. Creation and the cross widen the basis for trust beyond present circumstances. By ending with the language of great faithfulness, the lyric connects personal perseverance with the biblical witness to Gods enduring mercy. Its praise therefore functions as a deliberate confession in both light and darkness.
