Dallas Holm Face Of Mercy
I was sinking deep in sin; could see no peaceful shore
And my heavy heart was pulling me deeper down
There was no way to help myself
I'd tried that all too long
And with my life before my eyes I heard a sound
I was in Sunday School in second grade
Mrs. Aretha said to me: 'You may feel you've reached
the
end someday
Look to Jesus; seek His face.'
Turn toward the sky; you'll find the face of mercy
He's loved you all this time; that's why the face of
mercy
Sees beyond what you've done wrong
Forgiving till the guilt is gone
I stood up a different man; repentance felt so good
I found it hard to keep from singing 'Oh Happy Day'
I thought of all the ones I know who need Him just as
bad
And at the chance to share His love what I would say
I'd say I used to think 'Amazing Grace' was just an old
gospel song
But when I became a wretch like me my empty heart
became His home
Turn toward the sky; you'll find the face of mercy
He's loved you all this time; that's why the face of
mercy
Sees beyond what you've done wrong
Forgiving till the guilt is gone
