MERCY AND GRACE

For all fall short of the glory,
Yet all want to tell a story.
Well I don’t want to.
I’m a villain like the rest of you.
Not one of us deserves mercy.
Yet we demand for all to see.
This world is a complete mess.
A game of seeing who is less.
Creation and sin a level playing ground.
Nothing we can do to be found.
But the measure of grace to seek the cross,
And the pure mercy to forgive the loss.
Jesus my savior and king,
This message makes me sing.
The more you see darkness and light.
The more you understand that you have no right.
The more you see the excruciating pain.
The power of his mighty work and name.
Forgive me mercy, give me grace.
Knelt in humbleness to see his face.
Is the true story of glory.
Is humanity’s salvation story.
Mercy and grace,
all in one place
