I need Your mercy - Un poema entre el dolor, la gracia y la esperanza.

 

I need Your mercy

 

I need Your mercy.

 

I need Your mercy to be obedient,

and to walk the path that leads to life.

I need Your mercy on my shortcomings,

when I make mistakes, not choosing light.

I need Your mercy to remind me,

that it’s not my strength that gives me life;

and apart from You, I’d soon be dry.

 

The living waters, that You promised,

I need them more! Please give me some!

Let not my heart be found estranged,

in love and wonder for something else.

For the burning thirst that’s in my throat,

in only quenched by Your true love.

I need to know You more and more,

please guard my life from my own soul

for it knows not to choose Your hope,

it’s endless folly just gives me toil.

 

I need Your mercy… Dad above,

I cannot do this on my own.

Please save my heart from losing hope,

please give me abundant, faith and love.

 

Is within my grasp, this life of Yours,

please make me reach out, take it all.

The True and Faithful, You are love;

these truths remind me, I am Yours.

A blessed child, beloved son,

for a high price, You made me Yours.

These truths remind me, Dad above.

I need Your mercy, loving God;

please make me humble, to know so.

 

And when I’m feeling high above,

and when I’ve fallen down below;

I need Your mercy in them both.

 

You will sustain me, this I know so,

for Your good purpose You made me Yours;

please give me courage, faith and love.

 

I have Your mercy, my Dad above.

I owe You everything and more.

Please make me grateful, my Dad above;

a child that’s filled with hope and joy.

 

I have Your mercy, this I know so.
