The King of Mercy
Ten Lepers sought the Lord
carrying their badges with a Plea
unclean unclean was the cry
Mercy alone was their Plea
The King of mercy heard their cries
by his word He healed them all
One amazed returned with praise
A new disciple of grace
Four Lepers at the Syrian gate
though hungry yet harmless
The King of mercy prepared a table,
Bade them eat from the banquet divine
Providence had them in mind
Though the host of Syrian heard the noise of Chariot
Paving way for more Lepers
Zacchaeus fashioned by nature saw a crowd
He was the chief among publican
On that day, the master was passing bye,
His vantage view was a sycomore tree
He wanted to be loved though a sinner,
Hasten and come down Say the Mercy King
I must abide in thine House
He found grace on that day
And He must need go through Samaria,
A prostitute came to the well
abandoned and used by five men,
The Jews had no dealing with the Samaritan was her only theology,
Mercy King had the better gift,
suspend even His meal to save a soul
when her case came to light,
she became an evangelist.
Come see a man who told me all that i ever did
The city saw the King
He was Born blind, never once did he see the Light
Families afraid to own him as beggarly he sought for ease,
Even the Priest love to see him so
But the King of mercy spotted him from Heaven
He was marked for appointment
And when his case was called
One thing I know He said,
“Once I was blind but now i see”
Thirty eight Years, he was bedridden
in competition with diseased folks like himself,
waiting for certain season in vain,
Angels could not give a helping hand,
the fastest feet must take their portion at the pool
The King of mercy came for him
This time the pool was no longer needed
A faith ascent took him home
At the gate they called beautiful,
No one hoped to meet a lame beggar there,
But Life happens to us all, as for him this case was bad
for forty years he roamed in obscure darkness
The helpers with feets feeds from him,
they lend him legs to seat and beg
with his state they have a trade
But the King of mercy on way to the Temple
and would not leave him without help
Rising up in His name, he went with those who had feet
He too was a Commander, but a son's sickness exposed his weakness
A father's love compelled him to this Journey
from capernaum to Galilee several distance with faith
The King of Mercy saw his son and saw him coming too
Just a word of Authority from the Master, he know about Power.
“Go thy son liveth” He needs not another
“He sent his word and He healed them
and delivered them from their destruction”
