O Lord, Your mercy and grace,
Reaches out from in Heaven;
As I can feel Your embrace,
From Your love that is given.
Your righteousness is so fair,
Your faithfulness to the skies;
Showing that You really care,
As wisdom shines in Your eyes.
Judgment like the ocean deep,
In order to save people;
Casting upon us a big sleep,
For resting in Your temple.
Your mercy is so precious,
With giving me my refuge;
Forgiving when I transgress,
My needs You do not refuse.
I will continue to hide,
In the shadow of Your wings;
Thankful that I can abide,
Within the comfort it brings.
I am refreshed with rich food,
And drink from streams of pleasure;
Giving me an attitude,
That You will always treasure.
The fountain of life is You,
In the light that we can see;
Making it able to view,
The one you want me to be.
Continue to show Your grace,
To everyone who know;
And lean on You as a brace,
Guiding where we need to go.
Do not let my hands and feet,
From You to drive me away;
By the evil that I meet,
That could make me go astray.
