Thy Mercy, My God

It's been a while, dear old blog.  How is it that we get so easily distracted from the things we hold so dear?


I was singing this song today as I shampooed the carpets (exciting stuff, I know).  It lept into my heart, and worship poured forth.  I LOVE this song.  It's probably my favorite of the modern worship songs (in general, I tend to be partial to hymns).


Just read that first verse:

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.

There's different versions out there, but this is the one I'm partial to:

All praise to the Spirit, whose whisper divine

Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.
