Depth of Mercy! Can There Be

 

                                    Depth of Mercy! Can There Be

Justice means getting what we deserve. Mercy means not getting what we deserve. Grace means getting what we don’t deserve. Do we deserve mercy when we are such sinners? There are some who use His name in vain. Outright lie to another’s face. We do what we want to do and dismiss what God wants us to do. When our life centers around self and not God, do you think we deserve mercy? No, we don’t, but God hands it out anyway. His grace, His mercy are gifts given to us. When we repent of our sins, mercy abounds.

Lyrics by Charles Wesley, arranged by Willaim B. Bradberry

“Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear me, the chief of sinners spare?

I have long withstood His grace, long provoked Him to His face, would not hearken to His calls, grieved Him by a thousand falls.

Now incline me to repent; Let me now my sins lament; Now my foul revolt deplore, weep, believe, and sin no more.

There for me my Savior stands, holding forth His wounded hands; God is love I know, I feel, Jesus weeps and loves me still. Amen.”
