The Lord Is Compassionate
=========================
w&m: Ralph P. Merrifield
(from Psalm 103:8-14)

[Chorus]
The Lord is compassionate and gracious.
Slow to anger and abounding in love.
He will not always strive with us,
nor will He keep His anger forever.

[Verse 1]
For as high (as high) as the heavens
are above (above) the earth,
so great (so great) is His loving kindness
toward those who fear Him.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
As far (as far) as the east
is from (is from) the west,
so far (so far) has He removed
our transgressions from us,

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Just as (just as) a father
has compassion for his child,
so the Lord (the Lord) has compassion
on those who fear Him.

[Chorus]
