Sunday Jazz Piano: Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Piano by ‪@DebbieDenkeMusic‬ Arrangement of the powerful #hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" with #jazz harmony, big bass notes & a bit of improvisation. This classic #Christian hymn began as a poem written by Methodist minister Thomas Chisholm in 1923, with music later composed by William M. Runyan. Below are the lyrics to verses 1 and 2 pianist Debbie Denke kept in mind as she played her own version of this beautiful piece:
1. Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
2. Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, (Great is Thy faithfulness),
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
