Read More DMCD Songs: Show Up – John P KeeI’ve been banging on about faithfulness fairly often this year and I guess for good reason. In a time when everything dear to me has been put up for grabs and uncertainty is the only certain thing in my life, appreciating the quality of faithfulness and how I often fail but can succeed at it.

Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done.
