God’s Strange Mercies

The mercy of Jesus, mysterious thing
The love of our Savior makes us want to sing
His praises loud, He is God

He brings to His children the trials of life
He teaches us patience, our Lord loves His Bride
And cares for her, He is God

Chorus:
Our God loves us, and cares for us
And though we might suffer through much
He’s faithful in His grace
He loves us, He teaches us patience
His mercy flows over anew
Come comfort yourself dearest brethren
Our Jesus reigns ever in Heaven
And He shows us His strange mercies
Our Savior came down to live here as a man
He humbled Himself as a part of God’s plan
He lived for us, He is God

Why did Jesus die to give us all new lives
The Groom chose to suffer in love for His Bride
He died for us, He is God

Chorus

His people for ages have suffered and died
They’re martyred for Jesus, they’ve bled and they’ve cried
They die for Christ, He is God

We have tribulations as we’re sanctified
We suffer for Jesus, we who are His Bride
We live for Him, He is God

And though we have trials, our God holds us still
We worship our Father, submit to His Will
Our Sovereign King is our God

Chorus
