LONGSUFFERING
Longsuffering
– Our God is so gracious;
Longsuffering
– He knows our weak frame;
Longsuffering
– His love is so patient;
Longsuffering
– When we call on His name.
Forgiving
– Our God is all-loving;
Forgiving
– His blood covers all;
Forgiving
– Though we fail Him completely;
Forgiving
– When we stumble and fall.
Restoring
– Our God is so powerful;
Restoring
– Bringing healing again;
Restoring
– Picking up broken pieces;
Restoring
– Giving joy for our pain.
So
merciful – Our God is all-caring;
So
merciful – To us in our sin;
So
merciful – Though we don’t deserve it;
So
merciful – Our lost souls to win.
Sustaining
– Our God never fails us;
Sustaining
– Giving strength for each day;
Sustaining
– His resources are boundless;
Sustaining
– Each step of the way.
Interceding
– Our Saviour is pleading;
Interceding
– He watches each deed;
Interceding
– He stands by the Father;
Interceding
– For us in our need.
