Mercy

It is truly amazing to me
how loving God can be
through His mercies new each morning
it’s hard for me to see
____
how carefully He guides my day
to keep me in His way
for all the world to see His love
as my life comes to play
____
from a sinner who was a fool
where Satan had his rule
my heart ready for a life change
the cross became a tool
____
of an instrument of His love
me He was thinking of
needing mercy that He could give
finding grace from above
____
I cried, "O Lord forgive my ways
my heart so often strays."
but deep within I cry mercy
broken my spirit prays
____
and then You Lord came rushing in
mending my heart within
with the treasure of Your presence
no burden of my sin
____
I find mercy to be so pure
by faith I’m really sure
that Jesus is the source I cling
for mercy to endure
