Footprints of Mercy
Following Jesus, walking in the footprints of Mercy.
Stopping where He stopped, He always giving love.
Heeding the call of those who needed Him, a step
here, a step there, a servant from above.
Mercy reaching out to man.
Simon by name, helped our Lord who could have
called on the angels, carry the Cross.
Those footsteps we can tread to help another
bare when he suffers loss.
Mercy reaching out to man.
Then Jesus footprints stop-at the Cross where
His words, "It is finished," mingled with Blood, flowed.
more Mercy, covering our sins with forgiveness,
delivering us from what we had sowed.
Mercy reaching out to man.
Over the sands of time,
Jesus Christ footprints have left their mark.
His Blood has preserved them,
like Noah and family in the Ark
