Mercy Sq

His mercy given for one so insignificant, 
a sinner small, you Lord the magnificent.
Showing mercy each and every day
for mistakes I’ve made along life’s way.

I the offender, not seeing your word clearly, 
you the divine, still loving me so dearly.
Looking over my sins, my faults and fears, 
you dear Lord, your love is so sincere.

Your blessings placed on this meager sinner, 
thank God your mercy ever lingers.
Brings me to my knees in awe of you, 
for your love and mercy see me through.

Your compassion, your forgiving attitude, 
Lord, I give you all my unworthy gratitude.
You see through my worldly façade, 
to bestow on me the merciful grace of God.
