Bless the Lord

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. (Psalm 103:1-8 ESV)

I read this psalm this morning and I was transported to Lutheran Camp Chrysalis in Kerrville, TX…

I heard the song leader screaming, “Bless the Lord! Oh my soul!”

That is a wonderful camp song that comes from this psalm. And here are the words:

Bless the Lord (Bless the Lord)
Oh my soul (my soul)
And all that is within me
Bless His holy holy holy holy name

For He has done great things hallelujah
He has done great things hallelujah
He has done great things
Bless His holy holy holy holy name

This psalm is one to cling to when we feel like our sins are to great, for God is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and will forgive our sins when we call out to Him. So bless the Lord by calling on Him and laying your life at His feet and allow His great things to cover you!
