Mercy

Mercy is the substance, Which stops our downward fall, Which gives place for grace, To then lift us to our potential. It is the sure and steady rock, Which we can all rely upon. It’s essence and founder, Is Christ our Savior. He gained this victory and power, As He lived and sacrificed His life, With charity as the oath and standard held, And champion which prevailed. Christ is the Word, possessing Every perfect godly attribute, Which were poured forth, From the garden, cross, and tomb. He bought our way to freedom, Living and giving His life in perfect light, Shewing us mercy in loving submission, And giving all the power to rise. Mercy and grace work side by side, And hand in hand, for without them, We could not comprehend, Or be lifted out of the power of Satan. Mercy is God’s gracious gift, Our great loving rescuer. Grace is shared by Christ, His gifts of perfecting power.
