# Title 5—He is in the Mercy 4—Auspicious Surprises 3— Not Much Like Me 2— He Is 1— The One Who Does Not Change # 5 He is in the Mercy
When all seems dark and dreary, when God seems far away, when man is deep in misery, God’s mercy comes in play.
When Satan wins the battles, and death comes with a roar, for those who look with faith, grace and mercy are in store.
He comforts with compassion, brings answered prayer’s relief, gives hope through odd surprises, sends peace to those in grief.
Yes, He is in the mercy, be it quiet, still or small. His tender mercies come, 1. to His child He loves in all.
1. Lamentations 3:21-23 NKJV

Auspicious Surprises
When I don’t want to pray in bed— But, would rather be “brain dead,”
Seems I’m looking for an escape. Life’s too complicated to contemplate.
Turn off disappointments, questions, Melt away my pained expressions.
Forget what I do and don’t know… God sees the path where tomorrow goes.
Though I feel spent, He does not pine. He loves me, guides me, guards what is mine.
Though endless frailties invade my night, His gracious mercies make the next day alright.
Divine auspicious surprises I see… Gracious mercies: loving-kindness toward me.

Not Much Like Me
Higher than all my ways 1. Longer than all my days Deeper than any thought
More pure than refined gold More than a lion, bold His death—sinners bought
Like me with skin and tears And yet, no doubts or fears Blessed with forever years
All beginnings—in He goes All endings—yes, He knows Eternally—His work shows
God to earth came down My life then turned around New life through Jesus—found.
1. Isaiah 55:9

He’s not evil… Praise God!
He’s not cowardly… Amen!
He’s the same… (All) Jesus Christ is our God, now as then!
Hallelujah… Hallelujah…
Hallelujah… Hallelujah…
Hallelujah… Hallelujah…

Sometimes I fail to gaze at You and rest my mind there, too. Instead I stare at earthly cares, and let them rule what I do. But, that’s not how I’m meant to be, You came to set me free. Forgive me, Lord, when I can’t see My life in light of eternity!
Praise His blessed name, The One who does not change. And, love Him, all people.
Your faithfulness is like a mother’s love for her home. Your goodness—pure as a mountain stream, giving life to its own. Your holiness—beyond compare; deity—true and fair. Your sovereignty amazes me. You manage all eternity.
Praise His blessed name, The One who does not change. And, love Him, all people.
