Sing Your Praise

We sing your praise oh God
from the depth of our souls
out of joy, our feeling
happy in you
believing in your promise
your love abounding
pouring down on us

Your Mercy

We thank you Lord
in each day of our lives
that your mercy is greater
than the anger we deserve
that your love is deeper
than the depth of our sin
that your grace is wider
than our path which leads to death
thank you for redeeming us
at the foot of Calvary’s cross

The Rod of His Kindness

God’s love for his children
revealed in correction
though he ever loves them
needing to chide them
to bind them
the rod of his kindness
to make them return
coming back into the fold
humbly, as the lamb
into the arms of God

Love for His Children

Even in judgment
love for his children
God as our father
wanting us to understand
how he has loved us
how he calls us
praying in heaven
that we would turn from our ways
