I am overwhelmed I'm short tempered I use harsh words sometimes You are in control Slow to anger You speak gently to me We were born dead We chose rebellion We stand condemned in sin You so loved the world You chose redemption You took our punishment for us Our God is compassionate Our God is compassionate Lord, You give us grace instead of wrath Our loving Father deals gently with us Our God is compassionate Our God is compassionate You saved me from death You kept my eyes from tears And my feet from stumbling Lord, You hear our prayers Why would You listen Why would You bend to hear from us Our God is compassionate Our God is compassionate Lord, You give us grace instead of wrath Our loving Father deals gently with us With strength that can crush us Using restraint Our God is compassionate Our God is compassionate
