Poem
" Mercy" is that gift from heavenThat can be shared with all mankind If only we could know it’s meaning Though it should not be hard to find. The laws of man know not its teaching Nor does it seek to understand "This is the Law" so often spoken But mercy makes no such demands. For mercy seeks to know the heartaches And the troubles of the soul Like the mighty grace of heaven The Christmas story so often told. It’s the deepest of all the fountains Flowing from the throne of God Mercy, Love, the grace of giving Should show daily in our love. Deeper than the deepest oceans All of space cannot contain Mercy knows no limitations Given freely in His Name. It’s the message of salvation Wrought for man upon the cross Without mercy, there is no pardon All of life would then be lost. Heaven’s Mercy ever falling O’er my soul from up above O, the mercy of salvation As the mercy of your love. |
