The Actions of God
Real righteousness comes from the Lord
true justice to rescue the oppressed
such traits are truly divinely sent
clothed purely heavenly dressed
This is the God always eternal
filled with blessed mercy and grace
so full of love with little anger
looking after His own on their case
The heavens above so very high
showing the real depth of it all
perfect love reserved for them
God's children receive their call
Believers sins freely removed
so far even from west to east
the love of God so magnificent
what can compare to this feast?
God is of the fullest knowledge
for He knows we came from dust
but such is His compassion upon us
deep and secure for never to go bust
(The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the children of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.)
Psalm 103:6-14
