Compassion Hymn by Keith and Kristyn Getty
Compassion Hymn
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
[Verse 1]
F C
There is an everlasting kindness
F C
You lavished on us
F C F G
When the Radiance of heaven Came to rescue the lost;
F C
You called the sheep without a shepherd
F C
To leave their distress
F C
For your streams of forgiveness
F C
And the shade of Your rest.
[Verse 2]
F C
And with compassion for the hurting,
F C
You reached out Your hand
F C
As the lame ran to meet You
F G
And the dead breathed again;
F C
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow
F C
And shared in our tears,
F C
Heard the sigh of the weary,
F C
Let the children draw near.
[Chorus]
G
What boundless love,
C F
What fathomless grace
F C C G
You have shown us, O God of compassion!
G
Each day we live
C F
An offering of praise
F C G C
As we show to the world Your compassion.
[Verse 3]
F C
We stood beneath the cross of Calvary
F C
And gazed on Your face
F C
At the thorns of oppression
F G
And the wounds of disgrace,
F C
For surely You have borne our suffering
F C
And carried our grief
F C
As You pardoned the scoffer
F C
And showed grace to the thief.
[Verse 4]
F C
How beautiful the feet that carry
F C
This gospel of peace
F C
To the fields of injustice
F G
And the valleys of need—
F C
To be a voice of hope and healing,
F C
To answer the cries
F C
Of the hungry and helpless
F C
With the mercy of Christ.
