Depth of Mercy!

Depth of Mercy!
(by Charles Wesley)
 
Depth of mercy! can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear -
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
 
I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face,
Would not hearken to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.
 
Now incline me to repent;
Let me now my sins lament;
Now my soul revolt deplore,
Weep, believe, and sin no more.
 
There for me the Saviour stands,
Holding forth His wounded hands;
God is love! I know, I feel,
Jesus weeps and loves me still.
