I am overwhelmed
I'm short tempered
I use harsh words sometimes
You are in control
Slow to anger
You speak gently to me
We were born dead
We chose rebellion
We stand condemned in sin
You so loved the world
You chose redemption
You took our punishment for us
Our God is compassionate
Our God is compassionate
Lord, You give us grace instead of wrath
Our loving Father deals gently with us
Our God is compassionate
Our God is compassionate
You saved me from death
You kept my eyes from tears
And my feet from stumbling
Lord, You hear our prayers
Why would You listen
Why would You bend to hear from us
Our God is compassionate
Our God is compassionate
Lord, You give us grace instead of wrath
Our loving Father deals gently with us
With strength that can crush us
Using restraint
Our God is compassionate
Our God is compassionate
