Is Mercy and Grace Sufficient For You?
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin ArticlesIs mercy and grace sufficient for you?
Or is your love based on things I can do?
If you had no voice, with which to sing
Would you still find a way to give praise to my name?
If you had no ear, with which to hear
Would you still know my words and hold them so dear?
If you eyesight were gone would your vision remain?
Would you look with your soul and give praise just the same?
Why when there is peace do you walk your own way,
But when troubles arise you earnestly pray?
I’ve blessed you with life and talents to serve,
I sent my own Son, revealed in my word.
I offer you grace and forgiveness of sin
And when you fall away, I’ll forgive once again!
Do you ever ask why I love you so?
Why compassion and mercy I’m willing to show?
Because you’re my child and I fervently say
That I will love you past the end of all days.
I will lift you up and carry your load
And guide your steps wherever you go.
