His Mercy is More

"He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
Titus 3:4-7


Hello friends! We have been singing this beautiful song by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell in church recently, and it has been stuck in my head for weeks. The lyrics are so lovely:

"What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father, so tender, is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more"


I find myself tearing up every time I start to sing the last stanza before the last chorus. 😢 My sins, they are so, so many, but thank God! His mercy is more. 🙌 

I love to journal song lyrics. In fact, much of my Bible journaling revolves around music because it's such an effective way of getting God's Word and truth in my heart and mind. I often wake up for the day with a song already in my head. ♫

If you haven't heard this song before, I encourage you to hop on over to YouTube and give it a listen. (Better yet, download the whole album on Prime Music. It's full of Bible truth in worship 😉)

The background of this page was created using gelatos. I did prep the page using clear gesso, then gelatos, then I used a baby wipe and the Make Music stencil to wipe off the gelato background to create the clear music notes. It gave the page a neat negative color effect. The lyrics were stamped using a variety of alpha stamps (my favorites!) from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. 

 
 

I pray you rest in His endless mercy this weekend. Always remember, His mercy is more - more than all your sin, more than all your shame, more than all your regret. More. 💜

Much love in Christ, 

Janelle
