The splendor of the King, Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light, And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice, And trembles at his voice.
CHORUS: How great is our God, SING with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, How great is our God
Age to age He stands, And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one, Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before God with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first born for my transgression, or the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? God has told you O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? MICAH 6:6-8
Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. MATTHEW 5:7
Go and learn what the Scriptures mean when they say, `Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others.’ I didn’t come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners. MATTHEW 9:13
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. LUKE 6:36
