Have you yielded your heart/life to Him?
Dear Lord of loving kindness
He knows our tendency
And how human-inclined-ness
Is prone to misery
Dear Lord, so rich in mercy
Because of His great love
Rather than leave us cursed, He
Died, love’s fullness to prove
Dear Lord, so slow to anger
Though we deserve His wrath
He forgives sinful languor
If we confess and ask
Dear Lord, He longs to gather
His brood beneath his wing
Yet sadly some would rather
Disdain His offering
Dear Lord, so kind and tender
Because of His great love
His mercy curbs the anger
That we justly deserve
Dear Lord, of loving kindness
No one escapes His gaze
He knows the dust that binds us
And cups our numbered days

Psalm 117:2
For His lovingkindness is great toward us,
And the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD!
Psalm 63:3
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
Psalm 103:8-14
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
He will not always accuse us,
nor harbor His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins
or repaid us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
For He knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are dust.
