Eternal Echoes: The Mercy Journey #776

Eternal Echoes: The Mercy Journey (Whispers of Divine Mercy: A Journey Beneath the Cross) In the quiet of the longing heart, Where desires and surrender part, A truth whispers, soft and clear, Of compassion not born from fear. Not from the sweat of moral climb, But from mercy, divine and prime, In Romans' words, a mystery unfolds, A gospel of grace, in sacred scrolls told. The essence of faith, a sacrifice pure, Jesus Christ's blood, our souls' cure. A river that cleanses, deep and wide, In divine compassion, we are sanctified. When from this mercy we turn away, Our blessings dim, our hearts stray. Yet, in God's heart, a reflection true, Of kindness and empathy, forever renew. The core of our gospel, in sacrifice found, On Calvary's hill, where grace did abound. It's here we're called, to bless and to heal, In the strength of a love, so profoundly real. For mercy's embrace is our spiritual well, Without it, we wander, in shadows we dwell. But scripture guides, through Exodus, Rome, Revealing a God whose grace is our home. Life is a bridge, so transient, so brief, The cross stands as hope, in our belief. A beacon of resurrection, of victory bright, In the cross of Jesus, we boast with delight. Where sin abounds, grace abounds more, In our weaknesses, His strengths soar. At the foot of the cross, our burdens lay, In the shadow of mercy, we find our way. This journey beneath the cross we tread, By whispers of divine mercy, we are led. A path of grace, of love unmeasured, In the heart of God, our treasure treasured. Written by Steven G.
