Passage:
Numbers 17:12–13
“And the people of Israel said to Moses, ‘Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone. Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall die. Are we all to perish?’”
Song:
Mercy by Lindsey Sweat and Taya Gaukrodger
Lyrics:
I know you never thought it'd hurt this bad
The wounds look healed but they're still sore
The Healer caught your tears
He's been with you all these years
That's just who He is
The humble King is here
There's never been a kingdom like His
Where the poor in spirit are the richest
When you're crushed He comes in
Binds your heart in His hands
That's just who He is
The merciful and righteous King
I'm unworthy yet He took on my sin
Oh and He comes and lives and dwells
In this earthly vessel
And I can't comprehend
The foolish in His hands
I plead mercy mercy
Mercy before the King
Oh I plead mercy mercy
Oh mercy oh mercy
Oh mercy before the King
I humbly come and bow on bended knee
For I know I can do nothing without Thee
Come pain or grief or hell
In You all will be well
All will be well
All will be well
Prayer:
Almighty and eternal God,
draw my heart to you,
guide my mind,
fill my imagination,
control my will,
that I may be wholly yours,
utterly dedicated to you;
and then use me, I pray,
as you will,
but always to your glory
and the welfare of your people;
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
— William Temple
