MERCY'S GATE IS STANDING OPEN
Don Fortner
(Tune:
Brethren, We Have Met To Worship #15
87.87.D)
Mercy's gate is standing open
By the
purpose of our God:
He, Who found a way to ransom
Sinners
by His Son's own blood,
Offers sinners free salvation
Through
the blood of Christ, His Son;
But His
grace He more than offers,
Else no
sinner e'er could come.
Jesus
Christ (Almighty Savior!)
Has the
work completely done;
By His
blood's infinite merits,
He
redeemed God's chosen ones!
As a Forerunner in heaven
He has
claimed the throne of God,
In the
name of chosen sinners,
Whom He
purchased with His blood.
Now He sends His Holy Spirit
To
regenerate and call:
By effectual, sov'reign power
He will
fetch them, one and all.
If you
now will heed God's offer,
If you
do on Christ believe,
You are
chosen! Christ redeemed you!
By the Spirit you now live!
