Wideness in God's Mercy

Take a moment to reflect on His eternal love and mercy....vast as the ocean...

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Like the wideness of the sea;

There's a kindness in His justice

Which is more than liberty.

There is welcome for the sinner, 

And more graces for the good; 

There is mercy with the Saviour; 

There is healing in His blood.

For the love of God is broader

Than the measure of man's mind, 

And the heart of the Eternal

Is most wonderfully kind. 

If our love were but more simple, 

We should take Him at His word; 

And our lives would be all sunshine

In the sweetness of our Lord.
