Merciful God, O abounding in love,
Faithful to all who draw near You;
Hearing the cries of the
Humble in heart,
Showing the cross they may cling to.
Broken I come, helpless in sin,
Found at the feet of Your mercy.
Father, forgive, may my sins
Be remembered no more.
Merciful God, O abounding in love,
Faithful through time we
Have failed You;
Selfish in thought and
Uncaring in deed,
Foolish in word and ungrateful.
Spirit of God, conquer our hearts
With love that flows
From forgiveness;
Cause us to yield and return
To the mercy of God.
Merciful God, O abounding in love;
Faithful to keep us from falling;
Guiding our ways
With Your Fatherly heart,
Growing our faith with each testing.
God speed the day
Struggles will end,
Faultless we'll gaze on Your glory.
Then we will stand overwhelmed
By the mercy of God.
