I Am Mercy
Embracing Mercy: A Journey of Forgiveness and Sacrifice
Lyrics
Take up your cross
Embrace your burdens and challenges
Die to yourself
Let go of your own desires and ego
Humility is not a loss
Being humble is not a defeat
But bitterness kills
Harboring resentment can be destructive
Take up your cross
Continue to face your challenges
Die to yourself
Release personal attachments and selfishness
Humility is not a loss
Humility doesn't equate to losing
But bitterness kills
Guard against the destructive force of bitterness
How much shall I forgive my brother
Questioning the extent of forgiveness toward others
When all he does is sin against me
Dealing with repeated offenses from a sibling
Seventy times seven seems just barely out of my reach
Struggling to meet the challenge of forgiving many times
But He is Mercy so I'll keep reaching
Acknowledging divine mercy and committing to forgiveness
Take up your cross
Persist in facing life's difficulties
Make the sacrifice
Be willing to make personal sacrifices
Love is not a loss
Love is not a weakness or defeat
But hate will drive the knife
Emphasizing the harm caused by hatred
Take up your cross
Continue to confront challenges and difficulties
Make the sacrifice
Be ready to make selfless sacrifices
Love is not a loss
Love is a powerful force, contrasting with the destructive nature of hate
But hate will drive the knife
Warning against the harm caused by harboring hatred
How much shall I forgive my brother
Reflecting on forgiveness towards a sibling
When all he does is sin against me
Dealing with continuous wrongdoing from a family member
Seventy times seven seems just barely out of my reach
Expressing difficulty in achieving forgiveness many times
But He is Mercy so I'll keep reaching
Reaffirming reliance on divine mercy for the strength to forgive
The Lord says to the faithless
God's message to those lacking faith
I am Mercy
Emphasizing God's attribute of mercy
The Lord says to the guilty
God's message to the guilty and sinful
I am Mercy
Stressing God's mercy even for those who have done wrong
The Lord says to the hurting
God's message to the suffering and wounded
I am Mercy
Highlighting God's mercy for those in pain
To those who can't forgive
Addressing those struggling with forgiveness
I am Mercy
Reiterating God's mercy for those unable to forgive
I am Mercy
A declaration of God's mercy
I am Mercy
A repetition emphasizing God's mercy
I am Mercy
Further emphasizing God's mercy
I am Mercy
Continuing to stress God's mercy
I am Mercy
Reaffirming God's mercy
I am Mercy
A final declaration of God's mercy
