A DEBTOR TO MERCY I AM!
Don Fortner
(Tune:
How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours LMD)
A debtor to mercy I am!
Of
covenant mercy I sing!
Through
faith in my Savior, the Lamb,
My
praises to God I must bring.
God's
mercy preceded my birth,
And
followed me all of my days;
Though
I have no merit, nor worth,
My
whole life His mercy displays.
When
lost in rebellion and sin,
God's
mercy protected me then;
And since I have been born again
In all
things His mercy is seen!
My
daily provisions, I know,
Come
from my God's bountiful hand;
In
happiness here, or in woe,
My God
will His mercy command!
When
sorrows and sins are no more,
And I'm
with my glorified King,
I will
my God's mercy adore,
Forever and ever I'll sing -
A
vessel of mercy I am!
I'm
saved by the mercy of God!
Rich
mercy through Jesus, the Lamb,
Who bought me with His precious blood!
