Psalm 103 is one of the most beautiful expressions of God’s love in the Bible. This Sunday, I’m preaching on Ephesians 3:14–21. I thought this would be an appropriate call to worship. This is simply an arrangement of the verses from the NIV. Please feel free to copy and use it in your service.
Reader: Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
Congregation: who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Reader: Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Congregation: The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
Reader: Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
Congregation: For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Reader: Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion.
Congregation: The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
All: Praise the Lord, my soul.
