Thy Mercy My God

This is a great hymn by John Stoker.  There is a lot of praise in this hymn for the encouragement of holding to the Doctrines of Grace.  Click on the link and enjoy the music.  The video is not really anything to watch but the music is performed by Caedmon's Call and is of excellent quality.


Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, 
the joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue.
Thy free grace alone from the first to the last 
hath won my affection and bound my soul fast.

With out thy sweet mercy I could not live here;
Sin would reduce me to utter despair;
but through thy free goodness my spirits revive
and He that first made me still keeps me alive.

Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart
which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
dissolved by thy goodness I fall to the ground
and weep for the praise of the mercy I've found.

Great Father of mercies thy goodness I own
and the covenant love of thy crucified Son;
all praise to the Spirit whose whisper divine
seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.

All praise to the Spirit whose whisper divine
seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine!
