Lord,
you're ever faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness, in mercy and compassion...
When I'm careless, proud and selfish,
haughty, prejudiced and rude,
still, Lord, in your mercy,
you are faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness and compassion... When I'm inattentive to your word
and turn away from what you ask,
still, Lord, in your mercy,
you are faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness and compassion...
Though I fail to make the time for prayer,
to offer thanks and praise,
still, Lord, in your mercy,
you are faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness and compassion...
When I stretch the truth or outright lie,
avoiding what I fear,
still, Lord, in your mercy,
you are faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness and compassion...
When I fail to serve my neighbor's plight
though I've more than I need,
still, Lord, in your mercy,
you are faithful, always loving, slow to anger, rich in kindness and compassion...
When my faults and sins are many
and my guilt and shame distressing,
even then, Lord, in your mercy,
you are faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness and compassion...
Let my sins not keep me from your mercy, Lord,
help me remember and not forget:
you're ever faithful, always loving, slow to anger,
rich in kindness, in mercy and compassion...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

The Lord is kind and merciful!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all within me, his holy name.
and all within me, his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and never forget all God's benefits.
and never forget all God's benefits.
It is the LORD who forgives all your sins,
who heals every one of your ills,
who heals every one of your ills,
who redeems your life from the grave,
who crowns you with mercy and compassion.
who crowns you with mercy and compassion.
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and rich in mercy.
slow to anger and rich in mercy.
He does not treat us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our faults.
nor repay us according to our faults.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far from us does he remove our transgressions.
so far from us does he remove our transgressions.
As a father has compassion on his children,
the LORDʼs compassion is on those who fear him.
the LORDʼs compassion is on those who fear him.
