Face Of Mercy – Dallas Holm – letras

I was sinking deep in sin; could see no peaceful shoreAnd my heavy heart was pulling me deeper downThere was no way to help myselfI’d tried that all too longAnd with my life before my eyes I heard a soundI was in Sunday School in second gradeMrs. Aretha said to me: « You may feel you’ve reached the end somedayLook to Jesus; seek His face. »Turn toward the sky; you’ll find the face of mercyHe’s loved you all this time; that’s why the face of mercySees beyond what you’ve done wrongForgiving till the guilt is goneI stood up a different man; repentance felt so goodI found it hard to keep from singing « Oh Happy Day »I thought of all the ones I know who need Him just as badAnd at the chance to share His love what I would sayI’d say I used to think « Amazing Grace » was just an old gospel songBut when I became a wretch like me my empty heart became His homeTurn toward the sky; you’ll find the face of mercyHe’s loved you all this time; that’s why the face of mercySees beyond what you’ve done wrongForgiving till the guilt is gone.
