Mercy and grace
How profound the sound
Two words that can change our lives
Undeserved favor which can’t be found
In fellow man, no matter how one tries

Compassion forbidding consequence
Even when punishment’s deserved
When such kindness makes no sense
That’s the kind of God we serve

Who alone could devise such a plan
for mercy as Christ hung on that tree?
Divine assistance to sanctify man
Dying in a place reserved for me

Thank you, Lord, for priceless mercy
And grace in your outstretched hands
Without you, Jesus, where would I be?
Wandering lost, a sinful man

Cheryl; This is perfection...there do we all go, but for His Mercy....Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
