Sermon Poetry – “Have Mercy, Jesus Have Mercy!”
by Andrew J. Nicewander
Preacher – Jarrett Downs
Sermon Title – “Laodicea: The Church that Needed Nothing”
Sermon Text – Revelation 3:14-22
Jesus, You’re the Way, the Life, the Witness True
Your Word is Truth, You are the Truth
The Logos e’er divine
Forgive me, Jesus forgive me!
Neither hot nor cold, I’m tepid still
Repulsive to your taste
Forgive me, Jesus forgive me!
I think I’m rich and self-supplied
With nothing that I need
Have mercy, Jesus have mercy!
I’m naked, blind and wretched full
A man who’s pitied most
Have mercy, Jesus have mercy!
I think I’m rich, you know I’m poor
A man in need of Grace!
Have mercy, Jesus have mercy!
I’m poor, a wretched fool am I
A man deserving naught
Have mercy, Jesus have mercy!
Without Your Love I’m worse than sin
I don’t deserve rebuke
Sweet Jesus, sweet sweet Jesus!
You’ve saved a sinner poor and blind
You’ve clothed me in Your Love
Sweet Jesus, sweet sweet Jesus!
You condescend to Love this son
You bled so I might live
