Without Mercy there would be no Grace...........

[Les Brewer]

Without Mercy there would be no Grace
Without Repentance there is no Forgiveness

Redemption is powerful; repentance is the protocol.
O the cleansing power of the blood of Christ.
He who found me swallowing in the muck of sin.
I had wasted my life in wantonness and riotous living.
The revelation of my rebellion became clear.
Then I turned to God in fear and pain.
Yet He received me there at the altar of remorseful tears.
Yes I repented then and when I fail him I repent now.
Yet His grace is so complete and His presence is so sweet.
Sin had done its damage and life was but vain.
But then the Savoir touched me and life began anew.

Redemption is real
Newness is powerful
Life is full
Faith is alive
Hope is revived
Love is life
Trials are sure
Deliverance is wonderful
Temptations will come
Strength is supplied

I love the Lord very much; he saved a wretched man like me!
I love the Lord very much; for repentance set this sinner free!
I love the Lord very much; I have learned to serve him praying on my knees!
There is nothing we can hide; so in his faith we should abide.
It we get haughty or full of pride, in our hearts he won’t reside.
Let us give him all our being, eternal blessings we will be seeing.
O to Jesus my life I owe; there’s no other Savior to behold. Selah
