Oh, How Great and Rich in Mercy!

 

Oh, How Great and Rich in Mercy!

 

The beauty of God’s creation

Is in every minute detail,

From the vast, starry horizon

To the small, complex human cell.

From the meadows to the forest

From the lofty heights to the dales,

Creation sings in one chorus--

Of the Creator God it tells.

 

Man in vain searches for answers

Of origin and destiny;

But he looks in the wrong places

With blinded eyes that will not see,

He twists all the truth around him

To fit his own feeble theory

And when it is found yet wanting

He still rejects God’s Deity.

 

Written in every mortal tongue

God tells man through creation’s voice,

“I am Lord of the universe

But I leave you with a free choice

You may serve me with soul and heart

And spend eternity with Me,

Or you can reject My Son’s blood

And choose a life of misery.”

 

Foolish man in his own conceit

Thinks he can devise his own way,

Not believing God or His Word

That there’s a coming judgment day,

And though the earth will be shaken

And the stars in the heavens fall

Still man turns his back on the Lord

And refuses to on Him call.

 

Oh, how great and rich in mercy

God is to the children of men!

He tarries with His fierce anger

That all might repent of their sin,

He convicts man with His Spirit

And beckons to Him with His love

He cares for them as a Shepherd

That they might join His flock above.
