SO MERCY I’D KNOW

Weak and weary, Lord I turn to you,

You give me rest–your love is true…

You are my strength and  my guard

When my struggles are too hard.

–

This heart of mine oppressed

The Son of God has blessed…

In my life filled with sin and pain,

He came into my soul to reclaim!

–

In my wandering youth lost, alone,

I saw your light–I’m your own…

My life was filled with sadness

Then you filled life with gladness!

–

Loving Lord, protect my days

And guide me by your word in your ways…

Oh Savior Divine, this debt I owe,

You were the price so mercy I’d know.
