His love never fails

This is the fourth day running I have been encountering this phrase.
His love never fails.

The song 'One Thing Remains' popped into my head during a theology talk on Saturday; we sang it on Sunday morning; I highlighted it in my notes yesterday, still pondering this truth; and then it popped up in Psalm 103: "The Lord is merciful! He is kind and patient, and his love never fails."
 
Your love never fails, never gives up
Never runs out on me

Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant in the trial and the change
One thing remains

On and on and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid
One thing remains

Your love never fails, never gives up
Never runs out on me

In death, in life
I'm confident and covered by the power of Your great love
My debt is paid
There's nothing that can separate my heart from Your great love


God's love never fails.


1 Chronicles 16:34
Praise the Lord because he is good to us, and his love never fails.

Psalm 103:8
The Lord is merciful! He is kind and patient, and his love never fails.

Psalm 106:1
We will celebrate and praise you, Lord! You are good to us, and your love never fails.

Psalm 107:1
 (Psalms 107-150) ] [ The Lord Is Good to His People ] Shout praises to the Lord! He is good to us, and his love never fails.

And then there is Psalm 136:
Praise the Lord! He is good.
    God’s love never fails.
Praise the God of all gods.
    God’s love never fails.
Praise the Lord of lords.
    God’s love never fails.

rule each night.
