Merciful Lord by Terri Gibbs Lyrics

Life is so hard and times get so rough
Living life my way is never enough
I think that I can make it all on my own
But living without You
Is the emptiest life I've known

But the Shepherd leaves the 99
To go and get that one
Patiently He seeks him out
Finds him and brings him home
Merciful Lord, merciful Lord
Thank You for Your mercy on us, Lord

No distance too far, no valley to wide
Good and faithful Shepherd
Would never leave my side
Nothing in this world could separate me
From the undying love that He has for me

But the Shepherd leaves the 99
To go and get that one
Patiently He seeks him out
Finds him and brings him home
Merciful Lord, merciful Lord
Thank You for Your mercy on us
Merciful Lord, merciful Lord
Thank You for Your mercy on us, Lord
Thank You for Your mercy on us, Lord
