He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.

He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's!

The Lord gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly.

Psalms 103:3-6 NLT

This song is David in full flight considering the way God has been at work in his life. 

He's feeling good, strengthened, and all is well with the world. 

And when we hear David's song, perhaps there's parts of it you can sing with David today, and parts you can't. 

Perhaps justice seems unattainable, or your strength is waning, that disease is not healed, maybe your sins seem too big to be forgiven.

At the same time as David seems to be writing about his own experience, we're getting a glimpse of how the world will be when Jesus returns a second time, when the Kingdom he ushered in is fully present, fully functioning, and we will know what forgiveness completely is, we will experience life as God intended, and there will be justice. 

For now, we have songs, and glimpses, moments, communities of Jesus followers together holding this vision that David has captured.

One day, all will be made new, and every tear will be held.
