Meditations on Mercy Owed

Meditations on Mercy Owed

For Your mercy, Sovereign Father,
For Your sacrifice, Savior Lord,
For Your clarity of my need, Holy Spirit,
You deserve to be worshipped and adored.
For Your compassion, for favor unmerited, for grace,
Grant that I may show the same to others who by Your goodness bear Your name.
Adopted as we are by no merit yet by Your grace we shall inherit
All Your Son's possessions
And now perseverance and passion
Require that we show as You mercy
Unlimited in kind, grace, degreee.
Mercy for mercy,
Grace for grace,
Compassion,
Forgiveness,
Each sin erase,
Forget the debt,
Embrace the debtor,
Remember how great the debt you owed
The sacrifice the forgicing seed sowed;
With humility forgive then,
And seek to live forgiven,
With gratitude for
Mercy for mercy,
Grace for grace,
Compassion,
Forgiveness
