The Circle of Mercy
In Mercy , we touch the hearts of those who are in misery . In Mercy , we ’ re touched by them and feel their strength and courage . In Mercy , we heal the pain of those who are in sorrow . In Mercy , we ’ re healed by them and see the face of hope .
Refrain For the circle of Mercy is timeless : it is Spirit of Life itself . Which roots us in faith , and lifts us in Hope , and holds us in God ’ s loving care , and holds us in God ’ s loving care .
In Mercy , we welcome those the world has left rejected . In Mercy , we ’ re drawn within the loving heart of God . In Mercy , we forgive the incompleteness in another , In Mercy , our sins are healed and we are whole again .
In Mercy , the Spirit Faith will root us in God ’ s presence . In Mercy , the Spirit Hope will lift us out of doubt . In Mercy , the love of God will be our joy in living . In Mercy , we join with one another on our journey .
