“Your Steadfast Love” is the latest song for the Lectionary Journey Project. Lectionary Journey is a comprehensive project providing worship aids, songs, and devotions for each Sunday in the Christian Year over the three-year lectionary cycle.

The song was inspired by the readings for the Second Sunday after Epiphany, specifically Psalm 36:5-10 and John 2:1-11. It expresses God’s hesed, his steadfast love and covenant faithfulness, a prominent theme in Scripture.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my portion.
The abundance of your house fills my need.
Like the water into wine, you're faithful to provide.
Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my portion;
All I need, all I need.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my anchor;
The stable strength when storms come my way.
With a word you calmed the sea; your presence comforts me.
Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my anchor;
It anchors me; it anchors me.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my refuge;
The resting place when fears fall on me.
Like Mary at your feet; the safest place to be.
Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my refuge;
I'm safe with Thee; I'm safe with Thee.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my dwelling;
The home where I abide and long to be.
You're preparing a place where I'll see you face to face.
Your steadfast love, O Lord, is my dwelling;
Abide with me, abide with me.
You're all I need; all I need.
