GC 100 - Marty Haugen
Lyrics
Refrain
The Lord is kind and merciful, the Lord is kind and merciful.
Verse 1
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all my being bless God’s name;
bless the Lord, and forget not God’s benefits.
Verse 2
God pardons all your iniquities, and comforts your sorrows,
redeems your life from destruction and crowns you with kindness.
Verse 3
Merciful, merciful, and gracious is our God;
slow to anger, abounding in kindness.
