"Bless the Lord, my soul" (song)

"Bless the Lord, my soul" is a powerful Taize chant.

Bless the Lord, my soul
And bless God's holy name
Bless the Lord, my soul

Who leads me into life. 



I recently discovered the passage on which it is based, Psalm 103:1-5:

Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits--
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases, 
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
