Praise
A responsive reading based on Psalm 103

With all my heart, I praise You, Lord,
            and with all that I am, I praise Your holy name!

With all my heart, I praise You, Lord!
            I will never forget how kind You have been!

You forgive all our sins—
            Every single one!

You heal all our diseases—
            Every single one!

You redeem us from death.
            You save my life from the grave and load me up with love and mercy.

Each day that we live, You provide for our needs
            and give us the strength of a young eagle.

For all who are mistreated,
            You bring justice.

You taught Your Law to Moses and showed all Israel what You could do.
            You are sheer mercy and grace;

Not easily angered,
            You’re rich in love.

You don’t endlessly nag and scold,
            nor hold grudges forever.

You don’t treat us as our sins deserve,
            nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.

How great is Your love for all who worship You?
            Greater than the distance between heaven and earth!

How far have You taken our sins from us?
            Farther than the distance from east to west!

You have mercy on those who respect You,
            as a father has mercy on his children.

With all my heart, I praise You, Lord,
            and with all that I am, I praise Your holy name!

With all my heart, I praise You, Lord!
            I will never forget how kind You have been!
