Verse 1: G D/F# Em7 G/A D There is an everlasting kindness You lavished on us, G D/F# Em7 D/F# G A7sus4 When the radiance of heaven came to res - cue the lost. G D/F# Em7 G/A D You called the sheep without a shepherd to leave their distress, G D/F# Em7 G/A G D/F# A Bm7 A/C# D For Your streams of forgiveness and the shade of Your rest. Verse 2: G D/F# Em7 G/A D And with compassion for the hurting You reached out Your hand, G D/F# Em7 D/F# G A7sus4 As the lame ran to meet You and the dead breathed a - gain. G D/F# Em7 G/A D You saw behind the eyes of sorrow and shared in our tears; G D/F# Em7 G/A D Heard the sigh of the weary, let the children draw near. Chorus: A A/G D/F# G What boundless love, what fathomless grace Em7 D/F# G A Bm7 A/C# D You have shown us, O God of compas - sion. A A/G D/F# G Each day we live an offering of praise Em7 D/F# A7sus4 G D/F# A Bm7 A/C# D As we show to the world Your compas [ - sion. x2] Verse 3: G D/F# Em7 G/A D We stood beneath the cross of Calvary and gazed on Your face, G D/F# Em7 D/F# G A7sus4 At the thorns of oppression and wounds of disgrace; G D/F# Em7 G/A D For surely You have borne our suffering and carried our grief, G D/F# Em7 G/A D As You pardoned the scoffer and showed grace to the thief. Verse 4: G D/F# Em7 G/A D How beautiful the feet that carry this gospel of peace G D/F# Em7 D/F# G A7sus4 To the fields of injustice and the val - leys of need; G D/F# Em7 G/A D To be a voice of hope and healing, to answer the cries G D/F# Em7 G/A D Of the hungry and helpless with the mercy of Christ.
