Note to Instructor

No Notes Available

This a rewrite. Originally titled "Martyr of Mercy" I retitled it to make it more mainstream. It was inspired by the apparent suicide of two prominent Priests both accused of sex abuse: one, simply accused; the other, a prominent composer, guilty. When the latter's songs are sung in Church, I feel painful sadness, yet pray for mercy for both.
NOTE: The mp3 does not yet incorporate the small changes to the Chorus, which were suggested by Randy Klein

Lyrics

MESSAGE OF MERCY C 2017, SSS

VERSE 1
Mirror of truth shows no lie;
Filled with sin,
So the soul wants to die.
Devil's set for the final say:
"Go ahead, join the dead;
That's the only way."
PRE-CHORUS
Jesus says, "Worthy of glory, no;
Worthy of mercy....so..."
But the soul's on the ground;
Won't turn around.
CHORUS
Who'll bear the message of mercy?
Who'll take the graces that others reject?
Who'll offer them back to the desperate
To save that despairing soul yet?

VERSE 2
The soul can't cope;
Knows the picture too well.
Devil's pushing
Suicide to Hell.
PRE-CHORUS
Jesus says "Confess the sin;
Rest within
My arms of mercy."
Trembling with doubt,
The soul reaches out.
CHORUS
Who'll bear the message of mercy?
Who'll take the graces that others reject?
Who'll offer them back to the desperate,
To save that despairing soul yet?
Lord, dare You calling me
to bear to share
The message of mercy?
