Today... 'Father Of Mercies' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Father Of Mercies'



God's great mercies are eternal
and extends to all those who call
upon His name and magnify
The Father of Mercies on high.

This Father of mercy and love
dwelling in the heavens above
came amongst us by virgin birth
born in a stable here on earth.

The redemption of sinful man
was part of His wonderful plan
when He died and then rose again
to show mercy to sinful man.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
2 Corinthians 1: 2-4 (King James Version)
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.


All quotations ©NIV

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Father of Mercies'
