Mercy River

There's a river that never changes,
With mighty power, gently flows.
It's the blood of my Crucified Savior,
Running pure, it cleanses me.

By this river I daily stand,
Saints of old have held its edge.
Plunging deep, it penetrates me,
I am changed, refreshed, renewed.

Precious Savior, My Redeemer,
From Your hands, Your feet, Your side,
I'm forgiven, all guilt removed,
with grace and mercy, I will live.

Flowing River of forgiveness,
Run through me, cleanse my heart.
Shame and guilt are washed away,
Mercy given, what joy bestowed.

  1. Yep. It came to me a couple of months after Dale passed away. I was actually taking a shower and was overwheled with guilt. These words came to me, and my guilt went down the drain.

  2. I was trying to put a melody with the words, just like
    they do in Plymouth Brethern services. Do let me know
    if you have a melody for it. Such choice and good
    words, Julia. Thanks for putting them down. Thanks for
    sharing it.
