His Faithful And Tender Love

 

 

I will praise the Lord. Deep down inside me, I will praise him. I will praise him, because his name is holy.


I will praise the Lord. I won't forget anything he does for me.


He forgives all my sins. He heals all my sicknesses.


He saves my life from going down into the grave. His faithful and tender love makes me feel like a king.


He satisfies me with the good things I long for. Then I feel young and strong again, just like an eagle.


The Lord does what is right and fair for all who are beaten down.


He told Moses all about his plans. He let the people of Israel see his mighty acts.


The Lord is tender and kind. He is gracious. He is slow to get angry. He is full of love.


He won't keep bringing charges against us. He won't stay angry with us forever.


He doesn't punish us for our sins as much as we should be punished. He doesn't pay us back in keeping with the evil things we've done.

 

Psalm 103:1-10

 

Have you ever noticed some people appear to get away with things? You might even say, “that’s not fair.” Consider this. If we wanted God to be fair with us, none of us would ever get to heaven. It’s all about grace, not fairness.

 

Fairness means sinners deserve God’s wrath, and we deserve that wrath.

 

We can show mercy to others because God has shown mercy to us.
