I was introduced to a song, new to me, that I heard Sunday morning. Mercies Anew was written in 2001 by Mark Altrogge and Bob Kauflin, and I love the words!
When I awake each morning and have my first conscious thought of God, I immediately thank Him for His mercies. Most of us our aware of the Scripture in Lamentations 3:22-23 which says: "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions [mercy] never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
The first verse of Mercies Anew speaks to that:
"Every morning that breaks, There are mercies anew
Every breath that I take Is your faithfulness proved
And at the end of each day When my labors are through
I will sing of Your mercies anew."
Charles Spurgeon said: "His mercy is unfailing. It will never . . . leave you . . . If mercy is your friend, it will be with you when you are tempted not to yield to the Lord and when you are in deep trouble, to keep you from sinking. It will always be with you to be the light and life of your countenance and to be the joy of your soul when, earthly comfort is quickly fading." He also said: "His mercy is tender . . . infinite . . . underserved . . . effective . . . diverse and abundant."

"I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever." Psalm 52:8
Chorus: "And Your mercies, they will never end For ten thousand years they'll remain
And when this world's beauty has passed away Your mercies will be unchanged"
If you haven't heard this song, or it's been awhile, enjoying listening to it again and sing along.

Why don't you take a few moments and meditate on God's mercies in your life. I think you'll soon be singing: "I will sing of Your mercies anew"!
