Surpreme Mercy and Grace

We have all betrayed the Lord 
in our lives at various times 
But the secret is to admit our sin 
when the convicting Holy Spirit shines 

So seek God's forgiveness 
When we repent, He forgives 
No matter how great the sin 
still in our hearts He lives 

In fact, nothing in all creation 
that is so horrible, big or small 
Can separate us from God's, 
unconditional love for us all 

No need to despair for our lives 
No need for lingering guilt or shame 
Ask God for His forgiving mercy 
in Jesus' precious name 

So remember to confess our sins 
everyday while we pray 
Jesus knows our every weakness 
He still loves us anyway
