Another Day in the Ministry: Mercy Said No

We were so excited for the Tabb Family to stop and see us as they were traveling through Wyoming today. Every time they sing for us, we are so blessed and there are very few dry eyes left in the sanctuary by the time they are done! This time, as every time, I fell in love with one of their songs! I had never heard this song before but it's definitely one that I will be putting on repeat as I listen to it over and over again! Over the last few weeks in my daily Bible study, God has shown me verse after verse that have the word 'mercy' in them. Verses about why we need mercy and how we can use mercy to live a victorious Christian life and then tonight to hear a song about God's mercy just had me in tears as I thought on God's goodness to me!

Mercy Said No

I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He'd have me be, who I am

As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul

Mercy said no
I'm not going to let you go
I'm not going to let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no

For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see

As midnight fell upon the crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow

And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago
