Lyrics
Psalm 103
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
All my inmost being, praise his holy name,
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
Praise the Lord my soul.
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
All my inmost being, praise his holy name,
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
Praise the Lord my soul.
Who forgives all your sin,
and who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compa-a-a-assion.
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
All my inmost being, praise his holy name,
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
Praise the Lord my soul.
The Lord is compassionate and gracious
Slow to anger, abounding in love,
He will not always accuse, nor will he
harbor his anger forever,
He does not treat us as our sins deserve,
Or repay us according to our iniquities,
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him,
As far as the East is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us,
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
All my inmost being, praise his holy name,
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
Praise the Lord my soul.
Who forgives all your sin,
and who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compa-a-a-assion.
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
All my inmost being, praise his holy name,
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits,
Praise the Lord my soul.
Praise the Lord my,
Praise the Lord my,
Praise the Lord my soul.
