Remember Mercy

'A Prayer for the Nations'

The Day, will soon be here upon us, the one foretold of old.
Like floods upon the nations, to sweep them from their fall.
His lips are filled with fury, His words consume like fire.
He will sift out all proud nations, and lead them to their doom.

Your children will not listen, to the word that gives them life.
They close up the mouths of Prophets, as they shudder from the light.
Will they flock in their oppression, with rebellion in their hearts?
Their iniquity will follow them, as it carries them all away.

The time is drawing nearer, yes the hour of your return.
Lord Jesus please have mercy, for your children haven’t learned.
Of the salvation you have provided, when you hung upon the cross.
Your righteousness will judge them, but their loss for eternity.

Oh Lord, remember mercy when your wrath comes.
You made us in your image from above.
Remember that our likeness is about you.
Oh Lord, remember mercy when you come.
