When my soul is bereft of peace,
I’ve forgotten what happiness is,
I find this I call to mind
And therefore I have hope –
When injustice shrivels the soul,
In a world that’s forgotten the way,
I find this I call to mind
And therefore I have hope –
The steadfast love of God will never cease,
God’s mercies will never come to an end –
They are new every morning,
They are new every morning
God’s steadfast love will never come to an end.
Where God’s voice is no longer heard
And the desire to do good has gone,
I find this I call to mind
And therefore I have hope –
When materialism seems to rule,
The quiet joy of God’s love’s not known,
I find this I call to mind
And therefore I have hope –
The steadfast love of God will never cease,
God’s mercies will never come to an end –
They are new every morning,
They are new every morning
God’s steadfast love will never come to an end.
When I need a prayer for night’s approaching;
When the mind needs to be calmed,
I find this I call to mind
And therefore I have hope –
The steadfast love of God will never cease,
God’s mercies will never come to an end –
They are new every morning,
They are new every morning
God’s steadfast love will never come to an end.

Garth Hewitt writes redemption songs
and then sings them without fear.
His voice comes through clearly,
challenging us by his witness to act for justice. His is a brave voice,
needed more than ever in a fearful world, and in a sometimes timid church.
Please God, it will help us
sing redemption songs of our own.
