In Exodus 34:5-7, the LORD proclaims His name to Moses, describing Himself as "a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." Psalm 103 responds to this revelation with praise. "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name!" (Psalm 103:1).
To sing this psalm we set lyrics by Mollie Knight (©Trevor Knight/Jubilate Hymns) to an original melody.
This recording features Kimberly Hopkins on vocals, Andrea Sandefur on vocals and piano, Joel Stamoolis on vocals and guitar, Naomi Stamoolis on English horn, Jamison Gumley on bass guitar, and Thomas Doak on drums.
