MERCY CAME RUNNING

Phillips, Craig and Dean

Once there was a holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can almost see Mercy's face
Pressed against the veil

Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
Once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail

And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way

Chorus:
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Once there was a broken heart
Way too human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid

Walls I never meant to build
Left this pri
soner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away

I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in

Chorus

Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me

Chorus

Matthew 6 English 1

The Jesus Way

Matthew 6:
Jesus teaches that our religious service is to be private.　It is a secret between us and God. It is not to show others how　religious and good we are.

Matthew 61-4　Jesus Teaches About Giving

Matthew 6:5-14 Jesus Teaches About Prayer. Jesus answers many　questions about prayer.
The content of prayer.
Thinking deeply about the content of prayer can reveal to us many　important truths about our dependence on God.

The way to pray and the place to pray. Like our giving, our praying　is to be private and secret. The audience is God.

The mystery of prayer. There are also many questions Jesus does not　answer about prayer.

GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING!

Psalm 139 God Knows Everything
1 LORD, you have looked carefully at every part of me
and know all about me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I get up.
You know my thoughts before I think them.
3 You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do.
4 LORD, even before I say a word, you already know it.
5 You are all around me—in front and in back—
and have put your hand on me.
6 Your knowledge is amazing to me; it is more than I can understand.
7 Where can I go to get away from your Spirit? Where can I run from you?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the grave, you are there.
9 If I rise with the sun in the east
and settle in the west beyond the sea,
10 even there you would guide me.
With your right hand you would hold me.
11 I could say, "The darkness will hide me.
Let the light around me turn into night."
12 But even the darkness is not dark to you.
The night is as light as the day; darkness and light are the same to you.
13 You made my whole being;
you formed me in my mother's body.
14 I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way.
What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well.
15 You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother's body.
When I was put together there,
16 you saw my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me
were written in your book before I was one day old.
17 God, your thoughts are precious to me. They are so many!
18 If I could count them, they would be more than all the grains of sand.
When I wake up, I am still with you.
23 God, examine me and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any bad thing in me. Lead me on the road to everlasting life.
