Cry Mercy To the Merciful

All of us have sinned falling short
we have not been able to meet the mark
God accepts only perfect righteousness
failing that we're left in the dark

But God sends hope from on high
taking the initiative offers rescue
in sending to earth His only son
brings His salvation offer tight on cue

Jesus became the perfect substitute
takes our sin on Calvary's cross
pays the price we couldn't pay
sheds His precious blood in our loss

God gives us salvation on a plate
offers redemption to us for free
His mercy is there just to take
look on at this wonder to see

Give yourself to Jesus Christ
bow before Him let Him in
take Him as your Lord and saviour
He satisfies fully, now you'll win!

Amen Gordon,. None is good we just have to see this first, that we are dead living in sin,. We need Jesus to purify us and give us life then it's not we are good but God reigning and living through us, take care my friend
