Lyrics:

1. Great is your faithfulness, O God of Jacob;
you wrestle with the sinner's restless heart.
You lead me by still waters into mercy
where nothing can keep us apart.

Refrain: So remember your people, remember your children, remember your promise, O God. For your grace is enough, yeah, your grace is enough, yeah, your grace is enough, yeah, your grace is enough for me.

2. Great is your love and justice, God of Jacob;
you use the weak to lead the strong.
You lead us in the song of heaven's victory.
and all your people sing along.
