“As for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20). “He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:10-12).
In
Joseph we can see portrayed
The
mercy of our Lord and Savior.
The
hand of vengeance had been stayed
That
Joseph might bestow God’s favor.
The
judgment that our Savior felt
Was
for the souls His mercy wins.
Be
sure of this: He has not dealt
With
us according to our sins!
We
cannot fully comprehend
The
mercy God bestows on us!
Its
height and length are without end;
Its
measurement is glorious!
As
high as heaven is above
This
tiny dot called planet earth,
The
largeness of our Savior’s love
Exceeds
its comprehended worth!
As
far as east is from the west
Which
never ends when it begins,
We
find in Christ our endless rest
As
mercy thus removes our sins.
O
Lord, we see Your mercy measured
Is
infinite in each dimension,
Yet
by this standard we were treasured,
So
far beyond our comprehension!
In
view of what You’ve shown us, Lord,
As
we behold Your great salvation,
Your
mercy measured thus explored
Has
filled our hearts with adoration!
Since
You have made our hearts aware
Of
endless mercy that You gave,
Lord,
send us forth to now declare
That
You, and You alone, can save.
