Mercy in the rain

They told me I should walk the line, That I’d be cast away. They said His love was earned in time, If I did right and prayed. But when I broke beneath the weight, Too tired to pretend, I found a Father, full of grace, A loving, faithful Friend. I carried guilt I couldn’t name, Just trying to belong. They said my pain was just my shame, That weakness proved me wrong. But Jesus saw my weary heart, And met me where I lay. He didn’t speak with wrath or fire— He softly said, "You're safe today." 🎶 He knows I’m dust, He knows I fall, Still, He calls me child through it all. Not a whip, not a chain— But mercy in the pouring rain. I don’t need to prove I’m tough— His gentle hand is more than enough. He didn’t come to crush or shame— He came to lift and heal my name. 🎶 The yoke He gives is light and kind, Not shackled, cold, or hard. He walks beside me step by step, Not watching from afar. I’ve laid down all the fear they gave, And taken up His rest— What peace I've found in quiet grace, My rescued soul so blessed. Now when I see the broken ones, Still hiding in the pew, I pray they hear a softer voice— The same one that broke through. Not thunder rolling from the skies, But love that bends to meet, The ones too crushed to even cry, Still precious at His feet. 🎶 He knows I’m dust, He knows I fall, Still, He calls me child through it all. Not a whip, not a chain— But mercy in the pouring rain. I don’t need to prove I’m tough— His gentle hand is more than enough. He didn’t come to crush or shame— He came to lift and heal my name. 🎶 🎶 So if they say He’s just a judge, Tell ’em, "Friend, you’ve missed the cross." The One who bled, the One who wept— He came to find the lost. Oh, what a Savior, kind and true, His boundless love forever new. 🎶 🎶 He knows I’m dust, He knows I fall, Still, He calls me child through it all. Not a whip, not a chain— But mercy in the pouring rain. I’ll rest in arms that won’t condemn— That carried nails, not wrath, for them. Oh, what a love, so true, so vast— A grace unending, meant to last. 🎶 ...Unending grace... ...His love, forever new... ...He remembers dust...
