The Mercy That Never Fails

When my soul cries out with a heavy heart, "Oh God, again I've failed,"
Then He'll lift me up to the throne of grace with the mercy that never fails.
I'll sing Thy praises, Oh, Lord, my God, of the love that doth prevail;
And I'll look to Thee, on bended knee, for the mercy that never fails.

If a friend is bowed under sin's dark cloud, Then take your brother's hand
And petition Him Who forgives your sin with the mercy that never fails.
I'll sing Thy praises, Oh, Lord, my God, of the love that doth prevail;
And I'll look to Thee, on bended knee, for the mercy that never fails.

Though our sins be red as a crimson thread, and with foolish steps we've strayed,
Out of sin's dark night He brings a light," with the mercy that never fails.
I'll sing Thy praises, Oh, Lord, my God, of the love that doth prevail;
And I'll look to Thee, on bended knee, for the mercy that never fails.
