Starting February off on a Good Note

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22, 23 (ESV)

I haven’t shared any new songs for awhile, so today offers as good a reason as any to post a new one. The lyrics for Have Mercy on Me are below, and the graceful melody is in the Music Box. If you like the song, there are a lot more on the album, The Gathering, available at Amazon or Sovereign Grace Music (I get no absolutely no profit from them 🙂 ) Blessings!!

Have Mercy on Me

I am a sinner; You’re blameless,

Lord My sins against You can’t be ignored

They will be punished, I know they must

Your law demands it, for You are just.

If You would count everything that I’ve done wrong

Who could stand? But there’s forgiveness with You, God!

~~

Chorus

Have mercy on me, have mercy on me

A broken and a contrite heart You won’t turn away

Have mercy on me, have mercy on me

Because of Your steadfast love.

~~

Father of mercy, You gave Your Son

To make atonement for wrongs I have done

What You required, Jesus fulfilled

I don’t deserve it—I never will! *

We love and worship you today, Dear Father, for the new mercies you have in store for us, today, this month, this year. Each morning we awake to a loving Father who desires good for us. Each evening we can sleep well, knowing you never sleep, keeping a watchful eye over your children. Through such comfort, I hope and pray that we can trust you more. Why do we draw away, why do we not run to you? Help us to lean on you with absolute trust and reliance. In Jesus’ name, Amen
