I am sitting here listening to a song entitle Mercy Mercy by Hillsong united. I honestly think this is the most beautiful song I have heard in a while. I don't know if I am just touched by the musical moments or what, but I can not listen to this song with out feeling so small compared to God. Its a moment that shows Just how big he is!
The fact that this world fell into sin and that He loved and cared for us so much that he would give His son for our sinful wretched lives. How is it that we can sit here and just deliberately disobey and dishonor him. When he cares so much for our well being. We all should be calling out to him as the song says "Mercy mercy bring me to my knees." That moment so intimate with God when he brings out the darkness in you, reminds you your forgiven and then breathes life back into you. So that you can find your own life in Him. The song asks for the "spirit to lift me out of the wasteland and to lead me home." Home can be heaven, or his peace.
"arrest my heart from this reckless path, release the chains in me"
awake up my soul to the hope you hold, your grace is all I need"
This is probably my favorite part in the whole song. Commanding your heart to stop in its bad direction and to get straight and knowing that there is still hope through God's grace. That even though we are on a reckless path that he still has mercy and grace for us.
The beautiful sacrifice of his son. The song sets this part up so beautifully
" humble glory chose to carry all my shame. Rendered worthy in the shadow of your name. Gracious fury written in my Saviors scars Mercy mercy now engraved upon my heart"
Jesus went through all of that so that we would have hope in this world. That we could still succeed after the fall of man. Because it was never God's intent for us to have fallen from his graces. We were/are his masterpieces, that he so beautifully designed.
I dont know this song just really touches me its just a song of repentance song you just want to repent for things you haven'even done yet and yet take comfort in knowing that God loves you JUST THE SAME. This post may mean nothing to you and it may be just a bunch of blabber but it is definitely something that just brings me to the realization of how good God really is, and that I didn't deserve to be where I am. That the reason I am still alive is due to God's grace and mercy for me. At the end of the day HE is all I need. But you can listen to the song "Mercy Mercy" for yourself. This is also the Meaning of the song "Mercy Mercy"
