D D/F# G D A Bm
He has not dealt with us ac-cording to our sins,
Bm/A G D/F# Em D/F# G
Nor re-warded us re-garding our in-i-qui-ties,
D Em7
For as far as the east is from the west,
D/F# G Asus7 A7
So far has He removed our sins from us!
G D A Bm
Just as a father has com-passion on his son,
Bm/A G D/F# Em D A Bm
So the Lord will have com-passion on those who fear Him,
D Em7
For He, Himself, He knows our very frame,
D/F# G Asus7 A7
He is mindful that we truly are but dust,
(A7) D D/F# G D/F# Em7
Chorus: ||: For as high as the heavens are a-bove the earth,
D/F# F#m7 Em7 Asus7 A7
So great is His love toward those who fear Him,--- :||
G ||: D D/F# G A :||
Those who fear-- Him!
D/F# G D A Bm
The loving-kindess of the Lord will never end,
Bm/A G D/F# Em D A Bm
From for-ever to for-ever for those who fear Him,
D Em7
His righteousness unto His children's children,
D/F# G D/F# Em7 Asus7 A7
To those who keep His laws and who re--member to do them!
(chorus)
G D/F# Em7 Asus A
Bridge: The fear of the Lord is the be-ginning of wis--dom,
G D/F# Em7 Asus7 A7
The wisdom to es-cape the wrath that's coming on this world,
F#m7 Bm F#m7 Bm
But we need not know His terror, and we need not dread His sword,
G D/F# Em7 Asus7 A7
For these things are re-served for those who do not fear the Lord!
