There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy
(Ed Bolduc)

Lyrics
There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in God’s justice, which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head.
There’s a welcome for the sinner, and a promised grace made good; there is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in Christ’s blood. There is grace enough for thousands of new worlds as great as this; there is room for fresh creations in that upper home of bliss.
So be merciful just as our God is merciful. Be merciful just as our God is merciful to us. Let there be a wideness in our mercy. Let there be a kindness in our hearts. Oh, may our lives be merciful.
For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, we would know the living word; and our lives would be thanksgiving in the kindness of the Lord.
There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in God’s justice, which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head.
