I Praise You For Your Faithfulness - The Mandate

I praise You for Your faithfulness, O Lord,

And for Your Father’s love that never fails

Who am I, the King of love my shepherd is,

Who am I, that You should call me friend?

Made lower than the angels for a time,

To suffer death, for only You alone

Are my one high priest, my only sacrifice,

And my advocate before the throne.

For though You know all my ways,

Yet Your love for me endures.

When I think on all these things,

Oh I love You more and more.
