Vineyard Worship - Slow To Anger Lyrics

Slow To Anger dwells on the patience, mercy, and persistent kindness of God. Its opening assurance that goodness and mercy follow throughout life closely echoes Psalm 23, while the refrain draws from the repeated biblical description of the Lord as slow to anger and rich in love. These qualities are not treated as abstract attributes. The lyrics portray divine kindness as actively pursuing people with forgiveness each day.

The second verse brings that mercy into the experience of wandering. Even after failure, God is described as neither condemning nor discarding those who have gone astray. The reference to mercies being new each day may recall Lamentations, where steadfast love and compassion are renewed every morning. The concluding hallelujah turns these truths into worship, repeating the central claim that grace continues to seek the lost. Together, the song presents repentance and assurance without minimizing either: wandering is real, yet the patient love of God remains active, generous, and ready to restore.
