Mercy, Not Justice

How well do I know, Lord, my trophies are few

Author: Terry Pillow
Tune: [How well do I know, Lord, my trophies are few]
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 How well do I know, Lord, my trophies are few,
I've not done my best, Lord, in working for You;
I feel so unworthy, for mercy I cry,
Forgive me, I pray, dear Lord, a sinner am I.

Refrain:
Dear Lord, I'm unworthy to be in Thy presence,
I feel too unworthy to mention Thy name;
When records are opened, on that great final day,
Show mercy to me, O Lord, not justice I pray.

2 Forbidden to enter the pearly white gates,
Forbidden to share in the blessed estate;
The rocks and the mountains will hear the sad cry
Of sinners that have no hope, no sweet by and by. [Refrain]
