Face of Mercy

Lyrics

I was sinking deep in sin Could see no peaceful shore And my heavy heart Was pulling me deeper down There was no way to help myself I'd tried that all too long And with my life before my eyes I heard a sound I was in Sunday School in second grade Mrs. Aretha said to me: 'You may feel you've reached the end someday Look to Jesus, seek His face.' Turn toward the sky You'll find the face of mercy He's loved you all this time That's why the face of mercy Sees beyond what you've done wrong Forgiving till the guilt is gone I stood up a different man Repentance felt so good I found it hard to keep From singing 'Oh Happy Day' (He washed my sins away) I thought of all the ones I know Who need Him just as bad And at the chance to share His love What I would say I'd say I used to think 'Amazing Grace' Was just an old gospel song But when I became a wretch like me My empty heart became His home Turn toward the sky You'll find the face of mercy He's loved you all this time That's why the face of mercy Sees beyond what you've done wrong Forgiving till the guilt is gone Turn toward the sky You'll find the face of mercy He's loved you all this time That's why the face of mercy Sees beyond what you've done wrong Forgiving till the guilt is gone Turn toward the sky Face of mercy He's loved you all this time That's why the face of mercy Sees beyond what you've done wrong Forgiving till the guilt is gone
