One of my favourite Christian songs is “Strong and Constant” by Frank Anderson.
It is a song of encouragement and comfort as Yahweh/ God speaks into the lives of His children. I know many people who have found succour in times of need with these beautiful words. Like any good Christian song it is saturated in Biblical ideas, themes and texts.
I do have a query. Does anyone know of a good recording of it? I have found only one on iTunes and I didn’t find it inspiring. Are there others that I am oblivious to? I would love to know. Also, apart from being Catholic, I have been unable to find out anything about the writer.
I will be Yahweh who walks with youYou will be always in my hand
Take your heart and give it all to me
Strong and constant is my love
Strong and constant is my love Should you wander far away from me
I will search for you in every land
Should you call then you will truly know
Strong and constant is my love
Strong and constant is my love When you know sorrow within your life
I will come I will embrace your heart
Through your pain you will discover Me
Strong and constant is my love
Strong and constant is my love
