As long as the sun blazes and burns

As long as the sun blazes and burns
Your mercies will never fail
As long as the seed time and
harvest endure
Your mercies will never fail

And when my soul is downcast within
Your compassions have no end

Though the arrows pierce me
Though the darkness rages fiercely
You will be my strength
Though the earth gives way
My portion You will ever be

In fear or in faith
I ll say to my soul
Your mercies will never fail
A promise for ages
An anchor that holds
Your mercies will never fail

And when my soul is downcast
within
Your compassions have no end

Though the arrows pierce me
Though the darkness rages fiercely
You will be my strength
Though the earth gives way
My portion You will ever be

It s all because of the Lord s
great love
All because of the Lord s
great love
It s all because of the Lord s
great love
We are not consumed

It s all because of the Lord s
great love
All because of the Lord s
great love
It s all because of the Lord s
great love
His mercies are ever new

Though the arrows pierce me
Though the darkness rages
fiercely
You will be my strength
Though the earth gives way
My portion You will ever be
My portion You will ever be
