Life's trials make me cry for mercy's flow Beseeching to gain relief against pain While my heart needs peace I want to prevail Seeking God for His compassionate grace To vanquish gloom out of worry and doubt. Crying mercy* shouts for triumphant glow Radiating hope along harsh terrain While I conquer downfalls and woe that ail Trusting the Lord toward championship ways Overcoming crises and hardship's pout. Exuding worshipful gratitude-bliss Blest so well by crying mercy's delight My spirit now stays in thanksgiving light While reaching-out with faith from love’s abyss. *Lamentations 3:22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
