Delights in Loving Kindness Micah 7:18-20 (WEB) Word for Word Scripture Song

“Delights in Loving Kindness” brings the words of Micah 7:18–20 to music—a reminder of God’s compassion, forgiveness, and faithful love. Who is a God like Him, who pardons sin and delights in mercy? This Scripture song reflects on His promise to cast our sins into the depths of the sea and His faithfulness from generation to generation. These words hold special meaning during the season of Yom Teruah (the Day of Trumpets, observed in Jewish tradition as Rosh Hashanah) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). The shofar’s call invites us to awaken, examine our hearts, and return to God in repentance. Micah 7:18–20 is also recited in Tashlich, a Jewish custom traditionally observed near water on Rosh Hashanah. Its image of sins cast into the depths of the sea beautifully connects this song’s ocean setting to the hope of forgiveness. As the Days of Awe lead toward Yom Kippur, the passage’s themes of mercy and compassion invite us to reflect on repentance, reconciliation, and God’s steadfast love. May this song encourage you as you listen, worship, and prepare your heart—or whenever you need a reminder that God delights in loving kindness.
