Mercy

The blind man cried for mercy: And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Luke 18:38 ESV)

The lepers cried for mercy: “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” (Luke 17:13 ESV)

But I'm not needy like those people, am I?

As a matter of fact, I'm not. My need for mercy is far greater than unclean skin and unseeing eyes. My sin gives me an unclean heart and blinds me to the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Jesus, have mercy on me.

Mercy in laughter, mercy in crying.
Mercy in living, mercy in dying.
Mercy at work, and mercy at play.
Merciful mercy all night and all day.
O Son of David, have mercy on me.
Merciful Savior, have mercy on me.
