There is an everlasting kindness
You lavished on us
When the Radiance of heaven Came
to rescue the lost;
You called the sheep without a
shepherd
To leave their distress
For your streams of
forgiveness
And the shade of Your rest.
And with compassion for the
hurting,
You reached out Your hand
As the lame ran to meet
You
And the dead breathed
again;
You saw behind the eyes of
sorrow
And shared in our tears,
Heard the sigh of the
weary,
Let the children draw near.
What boundless love,
What fathomless grace
You have shown us, O God of
compassion!
Each day we live
An offering of praise
As we show to the world Your
compassion.
We stood beneath the cross of
Calvary
And gazed on Your face
At the thorns of oppression
And the wounds of disgrace,
For surely You have borne
our suffering
And carried our grief
As You pardoned the
scoffer
And showed grace to the thief.
How beautiful the feet that
carry
This gospel of peace
To the fields of injustice
And the valleys of need—
To be a voice of hope and
healing,
To answer the cries
Of the hungry and helpless
With the mercy of Christ.
