Ward's Songs

GREAT IS THY HATEFULNESS

(Tune: Great Is Thy Faithfulness)

Great is thy hatefulness, oh god my father.
There is no shadow of kindness with thee.
Thou changest not. The compassions, they are not.
As thus has been, thou forever will be.

Great is thy hatefulness, oh god my father.
All through the Bible it stands out so clear.
You kill and you smite, send great floods and famines
To keep everyone living in fear.

Great is thy hatefulness, oh god my father.
See it displayed in the world every day.
Earthquakes and hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis,
To show off thy hatred and fill with dismay.

Great is thy hatefulness, oh god my father.
You allow evil and violence to reign.
No matter what injustice takes place,
You just ignore all of the suff'ring and pain.

CHORUS:
Great is thy hatefulness, and how you make a mess.
Morning by morning new horrors I see.
Plenty of sorrows thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy hatefulness, lord, unto me!
