Hi Hive Community, welcome to Sound Music's Praise and Worship week 40. I will like to start by giving a shout out @oluthomas who choose "Mercy" as the week's theme. Also like to acknowledge @stefy.music for this initiative.
My name is @monikanthony, i will be singing a titled "Mercy Said No" by Cece Winans.
Mercy means undeserved grace in other words. It is to show compassion, forgiveness and also being kind to someone who has made a mistake or has faulted you in any way. Its a form of loving, showing understanding and being gracious especially when the other party is not deserving of it.
This song talks about our short comings and vulnerability, indicating the strong need for the intervention of the supernatural in our daily life of salvation. God sent his Son to die, for us to be save and have eternal life in Christ because He was merciful to us and because of the love He has for us.
We should learn to live a life of redemption, showing mercy to everyone just as Christ set an example for us, we don't deserve, it but he still showered us with love.
SONG LYRICS _ MERCY SAID NO
I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He'd have me be, who I am
As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
Mercy said no
I'm not going to let you go
I'm not going to let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell upon the crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow
Mercy said no
I'm not going to let you go
I'm not going to let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago
Mercy said no
I'm not going to let you go
I'm not going to let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
