"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's" (Psalm 103:2-5). "Having forgiven you all trespasses, blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… [He] took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross" (Colossians 2:13,14).
God's
benefits are bountiful,
Yet
very costly; none are free,
For
Jesus Christ poured out His soul
To
purchase them for you and me.
He
pardons our iniquities
And
purges them away as dross;
He
heals all our soul's disease
By
His travail on His cross.
The
Lord redeems us from destruction;
He
crowns us with His grace and truth.
Though
outward strength may see reduction,
His
joy renews our inward youth.
Your
benefits are great, O Lord,
And
we remember, too, their price,
For
all this bountiful reward
Was
purchased by Your sacrifice.
