I’m doing a few more Peter Grant songs at present and have come across his adaptation of Psalm 103. The text has uses beyond the specific weeks it is the Psalm – Lent, evening prayer, praise, etc.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow where there is an instrumental snippet to listen to as well.
Refrain
The Lord is kind and merciful,
slow to anger and rich in compassion.
1 Bless the Lord O my soul,
and let all of my being praise the Holy name!
Bless the Lord O my soul,
May I never forget all God’s wonderful kindness.
2 God forgives all my sins, and heals all my ills,
God saves my life from the grave.
With compassion and love, the Lord blesses my days;
Gives me the strength of an eagle.
3 Just as far as the east is apart from the west,
God removes my guilt from sight.
Mother, father, God shows loving care and concern
To the faithful now and forever.
4 Praise the Lord mighty angels
Who obey God’s commands;
Praise the Lord ev’rywhere, all God’s creatures sing praise!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, my soul!
