Farther Than the East Can Find the West — Psalm 103

[Piano intro] [Verse 1: Bubba] Soul, wake up and count His kindness, Let no gift slip out of mind: He forgives and heals, redeems us, Crowns our lives with mercy kind. He renews like soaring eagles, Fills our days with what is good; Justice for the bowed and broken, Moses learned the ways He stood. [Chorus: duet] Farther than the east can find the west, He has carried off our sin. Higher than the heavens over earth, Is His love for those who honor Him. Not the wages all our wrong deserved, But compassion, deep and wide; Bless the Lord, my soul, remember: Mercy is no passing tide. [Verse 2: Darlene] Slow to anger, rich in kindness, He won’t keep His wrath always. Like a father to his children, He bends near our fragile days. We are dust, and He remembers; Grass and flowers bloom, then cease. Wind goes by and leaves no footprint, But His covenant will not leave. [Pedal steel solo] [Verse 3: Darlene] Everlasting unto everlasting, Mercy rests on those who fear; Children’s children find His justice, Keep His word and hold it dear. In the heavens stands His kingdom, Over everything His throne; Mighty angels, faithful servants, Bless the King who rules His own. [Bridge: Bubba softly] All His works, in all His places, Every breath and every part; Soul, remember who has loved you, Bless His name with all your heart. [Final chorus: duet and choir] Farther than the east can find the west, He has carried off our sin. Higher than the heavens over earth, Is His love for those who honor Him. Bless the Lord, my soul, remember: Mercy is no passing tide.
