Endless Mercy

When I fall and fail again,

When I stumble in my sin,

When shame would have me hide my face—

Your mercy meets me in that place.

Not a moment, not a day,

Does Your mercy turn away.

Though I wander, though I stray,

Your mercy beckons me to stay.

Your mercy endures forever,

Through every trial, through every endeavor.

Through every tear, through every sorrow,

Your mercy waits for each tomorrow.

In the morning, fresh and new,

Your mercies greet me, faithful and true.

They rise with dawn, they never cease,

They wrap me in Your perfect peace.

When I cannot understand

The trials held within Your hand,

When faith is weak and hope is small—

Your mercy covers, holds it all.

Forever—what a word to hold!

A promise that will not grow old.

Through endless ages, still the same—

Your mercy calls upon my name.

So I will lift my voice and sing,

To You, my Savior, Lord, and King.

For great Your love, so vast, so free—

Your mercy endures forever in me.
