Depth of Mercy

Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy

Reaching even me?

God, the just, His wrath forbears,

Me, the chief of sinners spares.

So many times my heart has strayed

From the kind and perfect ways,

Making clear my desp'rate need

For His blood poured out for me.

 

Give me grace, Lord, let me own

All the wrongs that I have done.

Let me now my sins deplore,

Look to You and sin no more.

There for me the Savior stands

Holding forth His wounded hands,

Scars which ever cry for me;

Once condemned but now set free.
