Removing our Reward

“He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.  Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him” (Psalm 103:10-13).

Thank God that He does not reward
Our sins, which He reproves.
Behold His blessings on us poured
And judgment He removes!

As high as heaven up above,
As far as east from west,
As tender as Father’s love,
Our God has greatly blessed!
         
We thank You, Lord, that You would pay
Our penalty for sin
To take our sins’ reward away
And pour Your blessings in.
