Psalm 103

Michael Baughen

  C     Em Dm7        G7  
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
    C       Am7    Dm7       G
and all within me honor His name.
C     C7  F          F7   
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
     E7       Am           Dm7 G7 C
and never forget all His bles----sings.

       C              Am          Dm7           G7
He forgives all your sins and He heals all your ills;
      C          Em7           Dm7 G
He redeems your life from the pit
          C      C7           F
He shows mercy upon you and steadfast love;
      Am        D              G7
He renews your youth by good things.

C     Em  Dm7        G7   
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
    C       Am7   Dm7       G
and all within me honor His name.
C     C7  F          F7   
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
    E7       Am           Dm7 G7 C
and never forget all His bles----sings.

         C          Am              Dm7          G7
Justice for the oppressed, with compassion and grace,
        C        Em7         Dm7  G
Slow to anger, abounding in love
       C          C7         F
He is not alway chiding, but in His love
         Am    D          G7
He does not remember our sins.

C    Em Dm7         G7  
As the heavens are high,
     C        Am7       Dm7         G
to those who fear Him, His love is great
C   C7 F              F7  
As the East from the West,
    E7       Am              Dm7 G7 C
so far He removes our sins from     us.

         C             Am          Dm7          G7
Days of man are like grass, or a flower of the field;
        C          Em7       Dm7  G
As the wind passes over, it goes.
         C         C7            F
But on those who obey Him with steadfast love
       Am       D        G7
He bestows His love evermore.

  C     Em Dm7          G7  
Bless the LORD, King of all,
     C      Am7      Dm7       G
all you His angels, doing His word!
C     C7  F             F7    
Bless the LORD, all His hosts,
    E7          Am         Dm7 G7 C
and all of His works in crea------tion

           Em7  F G7 C
Bless the LORD, O my soul
