So Great His Mercy

If by sin you are bent low
And your heart is sore within,
Bring your burden to the cross.
Ask forgiveness for your sin.

Sin will weigh and drag you down,
Will surely rob your joy and peace.
But Jesus calls, "I love you, Child.
I can make your pain to cease."

"Let Me heal and make you whole
And free you from your stress and sorrow.
I'll wash your life as white as snow
So you can face tomorrow."

When sin's dark weight is washed away,
Never again can it be found.
Jesus gave His life for this.
His love and mercy are profound.

"He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."
Psalm 103:10-12 KJV
