Cry Out For Mercy

This was written about many people who call themselves “Christian” but are too ready to point the finger at someone else’s transgressions. Jesus told us that we’d be surprised to see who gets into heaven.

Hate the sin, but not the sinner
Do you recall who kept company with Our Lord?
Prostitutes and tax collectors
From the darkness they answered His call
St. Paul writes “Love does no wrong to a neighbor
Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law“
Judge not with undue harshness
Lest you close Our Lord’s opened door

Call out, Call out
Cry out for mercy!
Call out, Call out
Cry out for mercy! Em Adim B ://

C Em
Spend more time alone, my friend
D Em
With Our Lord in the silence
Am G D
Let His light shine, see deep within your heart
C G
Know yourself and know your God
D Cma7
Let His love transform you
Am G D Adim7
Bring his light to a darkened world to heal, to heal lost souls

Yes, you see your brothers are broken
With humble heart, are you willing to serve?
The time will come when we stand before Him
To account for our thoughts, our actions and words

Call out, Call out
Cry out for mercy!
Call out, Call out
Cry out for mercy!
Em Adim7 B
Cry out for mercy!
