'Mercy' – great free song from Matt Redman

One of my favourite songs to sing in church that I’ve come across this year is Mercy, written by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin.

It’s a song all about God’s mercy, displayed at the cross of Christ, “where mercy paid for me … where the wrath I deserved it is gone”. As Matt says, Jesus’ death is “the centre-piece of the salvation story, but also the most amazing expression of the heart of God.”

The second verse means it also works well preparing for celebrating the Lord’s supper.

I particularly love the refrain “May I never lose the wonder, the wonder of your mercy”. Simple words, but a natural and fitting prayer of response to having reflected upon the cross of Christ.

And at the moment, Matt and Worship Together are giving away a free download of the song and music here. Check it out.

“If we could be fully persuaded that we are in the good grace of God, that our sins are forgiven, that we have the Spirit of Christ, that we are the beloved children of God, we would be ever so happy and grateful to God. But because we often fear and doubt we cannot come to that happy certainty.”
- Martin Luther
