Gods Steadfast Love and Compassion -Micah 7: 18-20

God the eternal and all knowing one
who can be compared to such as He?
the creator of everything reigns on high
He has always been and ever shall be

This God even pardon’s iniquity
passes over all our transgressions
for we His remnant He’s inherited
pouring out on us untold blessings

A holy God describes His character
hating sin with anger but not forever
for delights this God in steadfast love
show His grace and mercy to deliver

True compassion is sent from heaven
this warrior king our sins will tread
completely underfoot never again be seen
casting every one in deepest sea like lead

Thankfulness fills your heart to burst
considering all of God’s steadfast love
full of compassion our saviour is
praise eternally never be long enough!

('Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
   and passing over transgression
   for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
   because he delights in steadfast love.
He will again have compassion on us;
   he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
You will cast all our[e] sins
   into the depths of the sea.
You will show faithfulness to Jacob
   and steadfast love to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers
   from the days of old.')
Micah Ch. 7 vs. 18-20 (ESV)
