lyrics

Bless, O my soul, the Lord your God,
And all that in me is
Be stirred up his holy name
To magnify and bless.

God righteous judgment executes
For all oppressed ones.
His ways to Moses, he his acts
Made known to Israel's sons.

The Lord our God is merciful,
And he is most gracious,
Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
In mercy plenteous.

He will not chide continually,
Nor keep his anger still.
With us he dealt not as we sinned,
Nor did requite our ill.

Bless, O my soul, the Lord your God,
And don’t ever forget
How upon you he has bestowed
His gracious benefits

Who will most mercifully forgive
All your iniquities
Who your diseases all and pains
Will heal, and you relieve.

Who will redeem your life, that you
To death may not go down;
Who you with loving-kindness and
With tender mercies crown:

Who with abundance of good things
Will satisfy your mouth;
So that, even as the eagle's age,
Renewed will be your youth.

Such pity as a father has
Unto his children dear;
Like pity shows the Lord to such
As worship him in fear.

For he remembers we are dust,
And he our frame well knows.
Frail man, his days are like the grass,
As flower in field he grows:

For over it the wind does pass,
And it away is gone;
And of the place where once it was
It shall no more be known.

But unto them that do him fear
God's mercy never ends;
And to their children's children still
His righteousness extends:

For as the heaven in its height
The earth surpasses far;
So great to those that do him fear
His tender mercies are:

As far as east is distant from
The west, so far has he
From us removed, in his great love,
All our iniquity.

To such as keep his covenant,
And mindful are always
Of his most holy commandments,
That they may them obey.

The Lord prepared has his throne
In heavens firm to stand;
And everything that being has
His kingdom does command.

about

Tarblossom Turin, Italy

Tarblossom is the musical project of Jonathan Kleis, an electro-roots rock that mixes the fire of an Old Testament prophet with the fury of a Flannery O'Connor story. The inspiration behind Tarblossom can be found in the earthy grit of old-time Americana, the swampy spank of Delta bottleneck, and the pulsing ambience of modern electronica as a contemporary setting for ancient texts. ... more
