- A poem on Psalm 85
Mercies I remember
Glowing as an ember
How grace once flowed
Much forgiveness was bestowed
Now sins have multiplied
On self I have relied
Can there still be
Mercy kept for me
Will your anger last
Will it soon be past
Will you still revive
And make your people thrive?
Bring us back to life
Though our sins be rife
Would you now restore
And end your holy war?
Let your righteousness
Be peace in sin’s distress
Will you revive once more
Forgiveness to outpour?
Forever is the need
Of a Savior who did bleed
I must not be far away
From the power of that day
A Son became my sin
His righteousness now within
O keep me near the cross
Lest I should suffer loss
I have no other plea
But that He died for me
