God Is Merciful Poem by Gary James Smith

God Is Merciful

God is merciful to me a sinner
And led me to His Son
By His Spirit through His Word
My heart found true conviction
I saw sin now as never before
I felt it through and through
How far away I was from Him
But not aware of what to do

It didn't dawn on me at that time
It took awhile for me to learn
But as I read His precious Word
My heart began to yearn
I learnt of faith and Providence
How God was faithful and true
Through the lives of chosen men
That God used to see faith's view

Slowly but surely I came around
The beginning of my soul's relief
Christ was the anchor to rest faith upon
It was then I appropriated belief
Believe on the Lord and thou shall be saved
Was preaching that became a blessing
Soon I was repenting of my sin
And the Lord Jesus Christ confessing

Praise God for mercy praise God for grace
Hallelujah for my Salvation
Born again by the Spirit of God
Rejoicing in my justification
For God was in Christ reconciling the world
And offered up pardon for sin
Whomsoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
Has an inheritance waiting for Him

I can't believe you won't believe
While the offer is still on the table
Today, today...while it's called today
Call upon Him while you're still able
For sin has an eternal recompense
For the wages of sin is death
But the gift of God is eternal life
Call upon Christ while you still have breath

Hallelujah what a Saviour
