Oh Merciful God
My Lord and God...
please be merciful to me.
This is my prayer and
my heart's plea.
In you, Oh Lord...
I put my faith and trust.
It's you, Oh God, who created
man from the dust.
I seek refuge in the
shadow of your wings.
There's a peace and healing
this shadow brings!
I shall cry unto my God,
who reigns on high.
Who fulfills his promises
for you and I.
He will send from heaven
and save me from shame.
As I call out to him and
believe on his name.
Some have dug a pit...
waiting for me to fall in.
But they are trapped in
their deceit and sin.
In YOU, Oh God... my heart
is steadfast and true.
I will sing of your praise and
make melody to you!
I will give thanks to God...
who is mighty and great.
By his grace and mercy,
I shall enter his gates.
Be exalted Oh God...
so glorious and divine!
You are truthful, faithful,
loving and kind!
