A Brief History of Mercy
He’s the God of the many
Outside His love there’s not any
Now not just Jew’s find God
But all who tread this barren sod
Before that Eve and Adam fell
From grace in Eden all went well
Now all God’s sons and daughters
The time of Noah go astray
We are all the slaves of sin
Sold like the fourth in line Joseph
Christ like Moses set us free
Not with the Law but Jesus blood
David King of an Empire
Forgiven promised Son to rule
We’ve come back from Babylon
We’ve the temple of the Spirit
Here Roman Cath’lics believe
In the Chalice and Host we’re free
Present in lives Lord of dance
We adore Him in the Monstrance
From age of Peter and Paul
As Saul’s persecution give’s strife
One’s still reject my Lord of Life
Helpeth me overcome my grief
It is the Lord Who cares
If I falter stumble and fall
It is the Lord Who cares
If I betray like Adam, David or Judas
It is You Jesus that really cares
Against You my God alone I’ve sinned
So it is You just the Christ reels me
in
The Church Your Body offers
Reconciliation for sin
Lead me home Holy Spirit through
Confession in
Into the Master’s caring embrace
stretched out for me
What could more show You care the Way
to Calvary
King of kings You have seen my
trouble hung upon the tree
It is Your care for my every woe sets
me free
When my heartache and sin problems
and trials seem tall
It is the cross inspires You bore
there cares
We seem behind the eight ball only
sink the white instead
By Your Spirit Almighty Saviour I
know the Father cares
Called Consoler of poor Guide of this
hapless man
When seems no hope in reason not the
World that cares
It is not my brother or sister to
have done what we can
But You o Precious Healer Who gently
cares
