“Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.” (Psalm 63:3)
Some truths are so rich, so wonderful and expansive, they call for a special word. Take the covenant love of God for his people. Throughout Scripture, God reveals himself as slow to anger, full of mercy, and faithful in steadfast affection to those he has redeemed. The King James Version uses a beautiful word to translate this idea, one that still resonates deeply today: lovingkindness.
In this new hymn by Matt Redman, Matt Boswell, and Matt Papa, we celebrate the never-failing, awe-inspiring, undeserved lovingkindness of God. Combining an upbeat energy with truths worth singing over and over again, this song was written to help us wonder at the character of God: “How great your lovingkindness, O God of goodness, our joy forever to sing the glad refrain!”
LYRICS
Let praises now awake the dawn
We’ll greet Your mercy with a song
Your people stand and sing for all
Your lovingkindness
You’ve carried us in faithfulness
Upon the paths of righteousness
Our gracious King You’ve crowned us with
Your lovingkindness
CHORUS
How great is Your lovingkindness
O God of goodness
Our joy forever to sing the glad refrain
Of grace that saved us
Of sweet forgiveness
O how great is
Your lovingkindness
You lift us with a Father’s hand
You shelter us with Your commands
What heart could fully comprehend
Your mercies endless
You lead us through the shadows deep
Where doubts trace every step, it seems
But as the darkness breaks we’ll see
The morning promise
CHORUS
A life laid down to rescue us
With arms outstretched upon the cross
The greatest Gift there ever was
Of lovingkindness
A life laid down to rescue us
With arms outstretched upon the cross
The greatest Gift there ever was
Of lovingkindness
Your lovingkindness
CHORUS x2
