0713B DEPTH OF MERCY (MARK SCHERER) [SONG OF THE WEEK]

0713B DEPTH OF MERCY (Charles Wesley / Mark D. Scherer)

This is a recording of Mark singing a Charles Wesley hymn text to music that Mark wrote around 2001. It is one of my favorite hymns, and Mark has captured it so well. It fits with Paul's testimony found in 1 Timothy 1.

Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy still reserved for me?

Could my God his wrath forbear? Me the chief of sinners spare?

I have long withstood His grace. Long provoked Him to His face.

Would not harken to His calls. Grieved Him by a thousand falls.

There for me the Savior stands. Shows His wounds and spreads his hands.

God is love, I know, I feel. Jesus weeps and loves me still. 

Jesus weeps and loves me still.

Jesus weeps and loves me still.
