#233: Depth of Mercy

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

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.

Singer, thinker, writer, creational and relational type holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (and anyway originality is so yesterday anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isnt' fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmeritted blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed. View all posts by Sir Rhodri
