This morning I spent my commute listening to the Getty's singing a hymn about having compassion. It spoke to my heart. Here are the lyrics...
Compassion Hymn
There is an everlasting kindness You lavished on us
When the radiance of heaven came to rescue the lost
You called the sheep without a shepherd to leave their
distress
For your streams are forgiveness and the shade of your rest.
And with compassion for the hurting, Your reached out Your
hand.
As the lame ran to meet You and the dead breathed again
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow and shared in our tears
Heard the sigh of the weary, let the children draw near.
What boundless love,
what fathomless grace
You have shown on us,
oh God of compassion
Each day we live an
offering of praise
As we show to the
world your compassion.
We stood beneath the cross of Calvary
and gazed on Your face
At the thorns of oppression and wounds of disgrace
For surely You have borne our suffering and carried our
grief
As you pardoned the scoffer and showed grace to the thief.
What boundless love,
what fathomless grace
You have shown on us,
oh God of compassion
Each day we live an
offering of praise
As we show to the
world your compassion.
How beautiful the feet that carry this Gospel of peace
To the fields of injustice and the valleys of need
To be a voice of hope and healing, to answer the cries
Of the hungry and helpless with the mercy of Christ
What boundless love,
what fathomless grace
You have shown on us,
oh God of compassion
Each day we live an
offering of praise
As we show to the
world your compassion.
