Mercy and Grace

[Verse 1: shai linne] I gotta say this, God is gracious That’s not just a doctrine statement, but my heartfelt proclamation Of a God who saves men without obligation From sin’s domination and the bonds of Satan Nobody sins in moderation That’s obvious from our evil thoughts to our conversation We were dead, we needed more than an operation We had to be brought out the grave and made alive, awakened It’s quite amazing how in salvation Each person of the Trinity contributes like a compilation The Father elected me, Jesus bled for me And regeneration is the Holy Spirit’s confirmation So we repent of our abominations Consecration to the God who’s exalted above the constellations The observation of the congregation is God is gracious with a lot of patience, so we gotta praise Him! [Chorus] We’ll forever praise His mercy and grace Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace His mercy and grace And Christ took the curse in our place Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace (repeat) [Verse 2: shai linne] When I speak of God’s mercy, I’m speaking of His tendency To tenderly express empathy towards His enemies Whether it be mentally or outright obscenity We effectively deserve hell for our enmity Adam left a legacy of sin, since we share in his pedigree We therefore share in his destiny If God didn’t intervene, we’d all perish eventually In His great mercy, He gave us the remedy Christ lived sinlessly, then He paid the penalty His assassination was public like John Kennedy Rose on the third day, exalted to the heavenlies Repent and see your sins will be deleted from His memory Gain a new identity, eternal serenity Now it’s clear we should “volunteer” like Tennessee To spread His fame endlessly, the message is essentially A merciful God sent His Son to set sinners free! [Chorus] [Verse 3: Timothy Brindle] In mercy, Christ saw our wretched condition But instead of giving us death for our sinning In grace, His blood paid the debt that’s infinite Now resurrected with Christ and blessed because we’re in Him Mercy: Christ turned the Father’s anger Grace: Christ earned us all His favor And since Christ kept the precepts of the law Because of His perfection, we’re accepted by God! Real righteousness He gladly gives us The Father happily lavishes this Instead of filthy rags, our Dad’s forgiveness The ultimate story of rags to riches! His grace displayed in saving the worst men Behold, God’s riches of grace are a Person (Jesus) Christ, the fountain abounding in His grace Over my foul sin and mountains of mistakes In pleasure He’s immeasurably gracious Now we’re seated with Jesus in the heavenly places Plus His Spirit’s the strength that will change Tim He daily gives the grace of sanctification Forever we’ll praise the I Am Who gave us grace in the Lamb before the ages began So Shai, with that, resume the chorus Because of the cross, all His attributes are for us! [Chorus] [Refrain] Shai: Yo Tim, that was a bangin’ verse, b Tim: Nah, remember, I’m a sinner saved by mercy Shai: What’s mercy? Tim: It’s not getting what we deserve Because Christ already suffered the judgment and curse But Shai, yo, you blazed it ace! Shai: Praise God, I’m just a sinner saved by grace Tim: Well, define grace Shai: Our redemption price immense Both: Grace stands for God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense!
