Psalm 36: Unfailing Love

Psalm 36 is a powerful contrast between the wickedness of man and the unfailing love of God. It begins by describing how evil people live without fear of God… but then shifts into one of the most beautiful declarations of God’s steadfast love, faithfulness, and righteousness in all of Scripture.

It includes these beloved verses:

“Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies.” — v.5

“With You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.” — v.9

It’s perfect for a worship song focused on God’s character — a song that lifts the soul into awe and deep trust.

🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 36:1–12)

Verse 1 (Psalm 36:1–4)

The wicked speak with no fear of God,

Flattering lies upon their tongues.

They plot on beds where darkness reigns,

Rejecting good and choosing wrong.

Verse 2 (Psalm 36:5–6)

But Your love, O Lord, soars through the skies,

Your faithfulness never runs dry.

Your justice deeper than oceans wide,

Your judgments stand like mountains high.

Chorus (Psalm 36:7–9)

How priceless is Your unfailing love!

We take our refuge in Your wings above.

You give us drink from the river of delight,

For in Your light — we see the light.

Verse 3 (Psalm 36:10–12)

Continue love to those who know,

And righteousness to hearts made low.

Let pride not push, nor evil win,

Let all who scheme fall hard in sin.

Bridge

You are the fountain of all true life,

You shine Your glory in darkest night.

We lift our hands, we lift our eyes —

In Your light, we’re made alive!

Final Chorus 

Unfailing love, O God Most High!

Your mercy stretches past the sky.

You give us hope, You give us sight —

For in Your light… we see the light.
