God's Thick

O God, with You I really am in thick,
I never doubt Your love a little bit,
though sometimes I don't seem to give a lick,
You know for You my love's too thick to quit.
There is no one more sensitive than You,
I know that means Your skin is really thin,
yet when I sin, that can't always be true,
Your skin is thick, and then it's thin again.
O Lord, through thick and thin You're at my side,
You stand by me no matter how You hurt,
You take me back before my eyes have dried,
You help me win when I have lost my shirt.
O God, despite my infidelity,
You know You'll always be in thick with me.
