God Is Merciful

Our God is so gracious, merciful and lovingly kind
In his Word he gives us sweet peace of mind
He remembers our frame and that we are dust
Though he is so perfect and holy and just

He removes our transgressions as far as the east is from the west
and with Christ's righteousness we then are dressed
When he looks at our heart he does not see sins we have done
But instead sees the blood of his only begotten son

Where would we be without God's merciful grace
Our lives would certainly be in a hopeless case
God says he will remember our sins no more
He forgets them all and for us has rich blessings in store

God's love and mercy will endure forever and ever
and from his great love nothing can sever
