The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness.

Psalm 145:8

When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.”

Jonah 3:10 (KJV)

When Jesus Christ, in mercy’s golden gleam,
Grants a nation breath, a chance anew,
His love unfurls, forgiveness flows supreme,
Grace crowns it all, a gift from Heaven’s view—
May we repent, a people turned to flame,
To lift His gospel, glorious, bold, and free,
Adore His ways, obey His sacred name,
Proclaim, revere, and worship ceaselessly!

For He alone, the King o’er every throne,
Lord of all lords, with might no force can sway,
Exalts a ruler, then in justice known,
Casts them low by His unerring say.
O make us bold, a nation clad in light,
To walk His paths, where righteousness abides,
A people bound by love’s unyielding might,
To cherish truths that save and souls revive!

Bless His name, so precious, pure, and vast,
For mercy’s tide, for truth that sets us free,
For love and grace, a chance to break the past,
To bow before His holy majesty!
May we arise, one nation ‘neath His reign,
Greatness forged through Christ, our only gain—
Amen, amen, let hearts and tongues exclaim,
Our Savior’s glory fills the earth’s domain!
