Matt Papa & Matt Boswell: His Mercy is More

You are getting this meditation much later than normal because I’ve had website issues. Malware has been removed and a firewall has been installed. It’s unfortunate but fitting to happen during Lent, a season when we get rid of bad things and create patterns for preserving that which is good. So, I’m celebrating that the website is back up with a song I learned in church yesterday. Read the lyrics then click below to listen to it.

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23

What love could remember, no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn’
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more

“His Mercy is More” written by Matt Papa & Matt Boswell.

The third verse struck me. It has my word for the year: kindness. What a great and generous God we serve, that though our sins are many, He lavishes the riches of His kindness on us.

I don’t know where you find yourself today, but I pray it ministers to you. In this season of repentance and turning from sin, celebrate the mercies of God that are new every morning.

But, don’t let the mercies stop with you. As Jesus said, “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:36). Receive mercy and dispense it generously. The whole world needs mercy.
