Mercy

The stars that fill the midnight sky Or single grains of sand Cannot compare to all God’s works Too vast to understand What number counts the drops of rain That make the oceans wide How many hours and days and years Fill up eternal lives How far the furthest star lies from The meager grasp of man How far across the universe Doth God stretch forth his hand What mercy fills the Father’s heart That grants us time to grow Too much for us to comprehend Too much for us to know …Jeff Bresee
