the poetry of mercy

The Lord is gracious,
And full of compassion;
Slow to anger,
And of great mercy.

The Lord is good to all:
And His tender mercies
Are over all His works.
All Thy works shall praise Thee,
O Lord;
And Thy saints shall bless Thee.

Pslam 145:8-10

You have whispered to my silent heart
You have strengthened my soul
You have heard my desperate cry
I found mercy
I found mercy

I want to bring to You an offering
I want to show my heart for You
For You have shown Your heart to me
I see mercy
I see mercy

We bring our crowns to lay them down
Before Your throne where mercy’s known
We bow our lives before Your eyes
Your kingdom come; Your will be done
