Jeremiah 17:14-17 Mikaela Adams sings "Christ Have Mercy"
We've all been wronged, sometimes by those closest to us, or those who we trust the most. So, how do we respond, especially when we know that we can't truthfully claim our own righteousness and demand God's wrath against those who have hurt us. Oftentimes we hold our feelings inside, keeping our thoughts to ourselves, which only makes things worse.
We've all been wronged, sometimes by those closest to us, or those who we trust the most. So, how do we respond, especially when we know that we can't truthfully claim our own righteousness and demand God's wrath against those who have hurt us. Oftentimes we hold our feelings inside, keeping our thoughts to ourselves, which only makes things worse. In God's mercy, He has given us words to express in prayer, words found in Holy Scripture, that encapsulate our deepest pains and struggles. This passage from Jeremiah is another gem for the wounded. Chad meditates on this passage and points us to the great healing and redemption found in Christ alone. Mikaela Adams sings a beautiful lament entitled "Christ have mercy".

Lyrics to "Christ Have Mercy"
Heal me O Lord
And I shall be healed
Save me Lord
And I shall be saved
You are my praise
You are my salvation
You are my God
I shall not be ashamed
Chorus:
On the last day
Every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That you are Lord
Father forgive them
The foolish and proud
When their vain laughter was heard
And forgive me Lord
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy
“Where are you Lord?”
Won’t you return
Like you said in your word
Christ have mercy
Don’t let me fall away
There’s nothing that You have not seen
There’s nothing that You have not heard
Let me not hesitate
To follow in your way
I And I will not desire
That dark and woeful day
Let my words and deeds
Be gracious and thankful
For you are my hope
In the day of evil
Lord have mercy
When those who say “Where are you Lord?”
Won’t you return
Like you said in your word
Lord have mercy
Don’t let me fall away
There’s nothing you don’t see
Or that you have not heard
