"When all thy mercies, O my God, my rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love and praise."
Joseph Addison, 1672-1719
Mercies
Anew was written in 2001 by Mark Altrogge and Bob Kauflin, and I love the
words!
Each morning when you have your first conscious thought of God, 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."
My friend, Kathy's, front window, a few years ago.
The first verse of Mercies Anew:
"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."

Me: The devotions of Charles Spurgeon, edited by Jim Reimann
"I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever."
Psalm 52:8
Chorus of Mercies Anew:
"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"!
