Mercy
My people come before Me asking for the mercy of heaven
Mercy flows from the throne room in abundance, seven times seven
Every day I grant a blessing to My worshipers like a fire
Given freely to those who on their heart have a desire
To reach out and serve the kingdom with My mercy in hand
Seek the weary and those confined throughout this land
Open your hands and hearts to pass on My mercy in every way
A simple hug, the touch of your hand, with the sick you pray
All healings and blessings from heaven flow from the mercy seat
Through your love and compassion the devil’s plan you will defeat
You alone can be the difference for a life if salvation comes
From an encounter with a single soul you have the mercy to give to the one
Who needs a touch to change the direction of their life
Mercy is given to all who seek salvation and a life without strife
Enter into worship and ask for the mercy only I can give you
It comes down from the mercy seat of heaven for everyone, not just a few

(Luke 10:36 – 37 NRSV) 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers? 37- He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
(2 Cor 4:1 NRSV) Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart.
(Titus 3:5 NRSV) he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
(1 Pet 2:10 NRSV) Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
