Heidelberg Meditations - Day Six

That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ

"
unto my faithful"

My faithful Savior. The faithful Savior. Faithful to the Father. Faithful to his people. Faithful to me. When we are faithless he remains faithful because he cannot deny himself. In our doubts and fears he is faithful. We belong to the faithful Savior. The author and finisher of our faith. Faithful in obedience. Faithful in trials. Faithful in sorrows. Faithful to death. Faithfully interceding. Faithfully providing.

"Savior"

Faithful to death, but raised by the Spirit on the third day. By his life, death, and resurrection we are saved. We are crucified with him, yet we live, not us, but our faithful Savior living in us by his Holy Spirit.

Always Been There by Andrew Osenga and Randall Goodgame

We’ve all got our burdens, our secrets and our shames
We’ve all been discouraged and watched love fall in flames
And when we’ve hit the bottom of all we can bear
When we need you

You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night
Who looked into the void and called it light
And you’re faithfully providing for the trouble that we share
When we need you you’ve always been there

Blessed are the poor all around the world
Your children living under war and oppression
Cause you’re the man of sorrows, they whisper up their prayers
When they need you

You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night
Who looked into the void and called it light
And you’re faithfully providing for the trouble that we share
When we need you you’ve always been there

And how do we know in the dark of the night
To call out for you, Lord, to come with your light
We were born with you hidden on our hearts
And now we need you

You rise like the morning sun, a pillar in the night
Who looked into the void and called it light
And you’re faithfully providing for the trouble that we share
When we need you you’ve always been there
When we need you you’ve always been there
