Who is God like Jehovah?

Original tune: Victory in Jesus; E.M. Bartlett, 1885-1941
Micah 7: 18-20

God made a faithful promise called a covenant of glory,
And He signed it with his holy blood and swore by his own name.
He spoke it through the prophets; father Abraham and Jacob,
Then God came down and took on flesh to keep it perfectly.

Chorus: Who is God like Jehovah who pardons transgressions,
His remnant inherits eternal grace, so free.
Who is God like Jehovah, His compassion endureth.
He cast all my sins away in the forgetful sea.


God crushed the mighty serpent by exploiting all injustice,
And He took the keys of death and hell in triumph o’er the grave.
He satisfied His father turning wrath away forever,
Our God delights in steadfast love, the promise that He gave.

Chorus:

How do we know we love Him and belong to His redemption?
Do we demonstrate a life of grace to those who don’t believe?
For God delights in mercy now reflected through His remnant
We share the nature of our God to speak salvation free.

Chorus:
