sweet mercies

so, the only way to get going with this is to just get started. it's been a long time, friends...hopefully it won't be as long with this happenin' blogpress app :)

I always loved that praise song "sweet mercies"...here are the lyrics, to save you a google search:


It's our confession Lord
that we are weak
So very weak
but You are strong
And though we've nothing Lord
to lay at your feet
We come to Your feet and say Help us along

A broken heart and a contrite spirit
You have yet to deny
Your heart of mercy beats with love's strong current
Let the river flow
by your Spirit now
Lord we cry

Let Your mercies fall from heaven
Sweet mercies flow from heaven
New mercies for today
Shower them down Lord as we pray
Let Your mercies fall from heaven
Sweet mercies flow from heaven
New mercies for today
Shower them down Lord as we pray

I love the verse in Lamentations that promises new mercies every day...indeed, great is His faithfulness.

today, my mercies were breakfast with my fabulous roommate, then some yummy passion tea lemonade from Starbucks, along with some journaling and Jesus. then there was the dentist...and the mercy there was numbing medicine! now, I'm off to cuddle with my dog for a nap.

what are your mercies today? I pray you find something beautiful that encourages your heart.
