Passion for Praise: 'So Merciful, This God of Ours'

Friday, January 27, 1961

How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
— Psalm 116:5-7
