Misc Praise Songs – Kind And Merciful God (Guitar)

         Em       Am
[tab]        B              Em
we have sinned in Your sight.

        Em           Am            B
We have all wandered far from Your way;

        G             Am
We have followed de - sire,

        B             C
we have failed to a - spire

Am     Em        B7       Em
To the virtue we ought to display.

         Em       Am
Kind and merciful God,

        B            Em
we’ve neglected Your Word

        Em               Am       B
And the truth that would guide us aright;

        G            Am
We have lived in the shade

       B            C
of the dark we have made,

Am       Em           B7          Em
When you willed us to walk in the light.

         Em       Am
Kind and merciful God,

        B           Em
we have broken Your laws

       Em           Am              B
And in conduct have veered from the norm;

        G              Am
We have dreamed of the good,

        B            C
but the good that we could

Am      Em         B7        Em
We have frequently failed to perform.

         Em       Am
Kind and merciful God

            B            Em
in Christ's death on the cross

       Em      Am             B
You provided a cleansing from sin;

          G             Am
Speak the words that forgive

           B            C
that hence-forth we may live

Am     Em            B7     Em
By the might of your Spirit within.

         Em       Am
Kind and merciful God,

       B           Em
bid us lift up our heads

       Em         Am            B
And command us to rise from our knees;

        G             Am
May our hearts now be changed

       B        C
and no longer estranged,

Am          Em            B7         Em
Through the pow’r of Your pardon and peace.
