It's Simply by Mercy Alone

It's simply by mercy alone;

God offers love from His throne;

To a world that's lost and blind.

He seeks to save, and yearns to find.

It's not of works, that one may boast;

Nor when one out gives the most.

He's calling now, come now to Him;

For ye must be born again.

Just like a new born butterfly;

Can see the world from the sky;

Your blinded eyes are opened wide;

When Jesus comes and lives inside.

It's simply by mercy alone;

He offered His Son to atone.

His blood was shed for humankind;

To break the curse of sin that binds.

It's not by Mary, nor by might;

Not baptism, not by sight.

He's calling now, come now to Him;

For ye must be born again.

Just like a new born butterfly;

Can see the world from the sky.

Your blinded eyes are opened wide;

When Jesus comes and lives inside.

It's simply by mercy alone;

Hellish pulls are overthrown.

For when you trust in Christ alone;

Salvation will become your own.

It's not by penance that one pays;

That keeps one safe on that great day.

He's calling now, come now to Him;

For ye must be born again.

Just like a new born butterfly;

Can see the world from the sky.

Your blinded eyes are opened wide;

When Jesus comes and lives inside.

It' s simply by mercy alone;

God blesses those who obey;.

Who make Him, their Lord and King;

And seeks His will for each day..

No need for some priestly father;

To forgive your deep dark sins.

for Jesus is the great high priest;

And lives within forgiven men.

Just like a new born butterfly;

Can see the world from the sky.

Your blinded eyes are opened wide;

When Jesus comes and lives inside.

John 3:3

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God

Eph 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Hebrews 4:14

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Mt 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Ps 13:5

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

What is Right and What is Wrong? - By: Susan Y Nikitenko

What is Right and What is Wrong?

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

2010

What is right and what is wrong?

That is the question I ask.

Every day, all day long.

Confusion, all around us;

Troublesome choices to make.

Asking direction from God;

Which direction to take.

Forming the right opinions,

Making the right choice, you see,

Pleasing my Lord and Savior;

That is important to me.

For the first time I'm questioning;

For the first time I feel blind.

I wonder how many others;

Have trouble finding that fine line.

At times our faith is tested.

At times our faith appears small.

At times were left a wond'ring;

Do we really know much at all?

Should we be up front and honest;

Or leave one believing a lie.

Cause we're afraid to offend one;

We back off and choose to be shy?

What is right and what is wrong?

That is the question I ask.

Every day, all day long.

If my hair was just a mess;

Or my shirt on inside out.

I'd hope someone would tell me;

Even if it made me pout.

Then I'd take the time to fix it;

I'd make the wrong, then right.

Cause sometimes we have a blind side;

And are blinded to our blight.

If my child was in a sin trap,

Or lay sickly, near to death.

I'd hope someone would tell me;

Instead of leaving me to guess.

Tell the truth in love because;

The truth has power to free.

Tell the truth in love because;

It enables one to see.

What is right and what is wrong?

That is the question I ask.

Every day, all day long.

If I had the remedy

That cured lepers from their spots

But just slumbered back silently

In my own life and own thoughts

Would that be called merciful?

Would that be considered kind?

Leaving that poor sickly one

In their sickness, there behind?

If I knew of a danger

That would hurt a passer by

Would I keep my lips sealed

Even though I knew they'd die?

The Bible teaches there's a hell to fear

Will our lips warn ev'ry man?

The Bible warns us God will judge

Will we follow His command?

What is right and what is wrong?

That is the question I ask.

Every day, all day long.
