Mercy's Arms

As I was preparing my Sunday School lesson today I was reminded our merciful the Lord is to us. We have been blessed to have the Holy Ghost to guide and direct us in all our decision making. I have some interesting decisions to make right now and needed that good reminder. As I was preparing this lesson, this song came on. I love the words and the reminder for me to be humble and listen to the Lord's will.

The mighty fortress walls
I have built around my foolish heart
How they crumble and they fall
As I surrender all
To mercy's arms

Bathed in holy rain
Cleansed from sinner's bitter stains
Only love remains
And I'm forever changed
By mercy's arms

[Chorus:]
Sweet the surrender
Sweet the embrace
Sweet the forgiveness
To one forever undeserving of his grace
Safely encircled
Rested and warmed
Sweet is the taste
Of love that awaits in mercy's arms

In the light, the life, the way
Is the key unlocking every chain
Sin is lost and freedom gained
The price was paid
By mercy's arms

[Chorus]

When I reach my journey's end
How I hope that He will call me friend
And reach out for me again
Forever spend
In mercy's arms
