Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto
the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Psalm 51:1 KJV
~~~
In all my woe I ran to Man
Hoping for successful plan
“Show me options, and a way,
To fix my broken life today.”
~~~
But nothing could they do or say,
To end my pain and sad dismay.
In fact, their offers came to me,
With strings attached – nothing for free!
~~~
“Fix us! Fix us!” their deeds cried out.
“We, too, are bound by fears and doubt!”
“Dear God,” I cried. “What can I do?”
Man’s help is useless, only You…
~~~
Can bring the mercy that I need.
“Where do I go?” is what I plead.
Do for me what no man can,
Deliver by Your awesome hand!
~~~
~~~
THE CROSS, my child, is where to go…
That is where “free mercy” flows;
Where pain is healed, and woe erased.
THE CROSS is where you find such grace.
~~~
Man can’t give you what you need,
On that, you and I agree.
THE CROSS is where fear is undone;
THE CROSS is where REAL life’s begun.
~~~
Abundant life with joy and peace;
Freedom’s found and you’re released!
It’s all right here awaiting you,
And here is all that you must do…
~~~
Come, hungry, needy, wanting more…
That is what MY CROSS is for!
To heal your wounds – replace your strife,
With Living Water bringing LIFE!
~~
Come, drink your fill… and still, there’s more!
This is what MY CROSS is for.
A heart that’s healed – your life restored
At Grace and Mercy’s open door…
~~~
MY CROSS! That’s why I came and died.
Plunge beneath its crimson tide…
God’s grace is bountifully applied.
Mercy is free. Not one denied!
