Memory of His Mercy


"Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He… Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations" (Psalm 135:6,13).  "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin" (Isaiah 53:10).  "He that pondereth the heart… keepeth thy soul" (Proverbs 24:12).  "Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth" (Zephaniah 2:3).  "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth" (Luke 15:10).

It pleased the Lord to bring salvation
By laying down His life for us. 
Throughout the earth, each generation
Recalls His mercy marvelous. 

Our wayward hearts have all been pondered
By Christ who paid redemption's cost. 
All we like sheep from Him had wandered;
He came to seek and save the lost.

The Lord calls everyone on earth
To seek and find Him while they may
As He extends a second birth
To souls while it is called Today. 

Your memory, Lord, we contemplate,
With mercy that was heaven sent,  
As we, with angels, celebrate
When sinners meekly will repent.
