Isa.63:7
I will tell of the LORD's unfailing love.
I will praise the LORD for all he has done.
I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel,
which he has granted according to his mercy and love.
Life could overload love with care
And drain us of the strength to bear
What circumstance and mercy grants
To test the purpose of the prayer
Life could rob us of happiness
That only joy and peace possess
Where only trust in Mercy’s Must
Achieves its holy hopefulness
Life could distract us from the goal
With that which wraps around the Soul
When we forget Mercy’s paid debt
and the Yet, after Time’s brief toll
Life could trick us into despair
When lies, disguised as loving care
Are calloused to Mercy’s kind Who
Delivers us from evil’s snare
Life could feel like a futile chase
The future too fearful to face
Without belief in Mercy’s Chief
The One True God of love and grace
Life would do all of this without
One greater than the weight of doubt
He broke sin's chains through Mercy's pains
To prove the love life is about
So life is more than load of care
That would drain us of strength to bear
What circumstance and Mercy grants
Through perfect Love beyond compare
