Author: Russell E. Sonafrank II Hymnal: NCH1995 #549 (1995) Scripture: Psalm 103 First Line: When we suffer, God sends healing Refrain First Line: Bless God, O my soul! Lyrics: Response:
Bless God, O my soul!
All within me bless God's name!
Bless God, who was, and is,
and shall ever be the same!
1 When we suffer, God sends healing;
when we sin, our God forgives;
From the grave our God redeems us,
and by grace we rise to live! [Response]
2 With compassion God works justice
when oppression shackles truth;
Like the phoenix, God restores us
to the vigor of our youth. [Response]
3 God will not be always chiding,
nor forever angry be;
God will deal with us in mercy,
not according to our sin. [Response]
4 As a parent's love is endless,
so God's mercy follows us;
For the One who framed our being
well recalls that we are dust! [Response]
5 God removes all our transgressions
far as east is from the west;
For the grace of God is great
as heaven stands high above the earth!
Bless God, hosts of heaven,
everyone who does God's will!
God's dominion never ends!
