Thy Mercy, My God

Words: John Stocker (PD)

Music: Sandra McCracken

Verse 1

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,

the joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue;

Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,

has won my affections and bound my soul fast.

Verse 2

Without Thy sweet mercy I could not live here,

for sin would reduce me to utter despair;

but through Thy free goodness, my spirits revive,

and He that first made me still keeps me alive.

Verse 3

Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,

which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;

dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground,

and weep for the praise of the mercy I've found.

Verse 4

Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own,

the covenant love of Thy crucified Son;

all praise to the Spirit, whose whisper divine

seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine!
