Day 6: A song that makes you cry.

Song that makes me cry, sigh................

God of mercy, God of grace,
Show the brightness of thy face;
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
Fill thy Church with light divine;
And thy saving health extend
Unto earth's remotest end.

Let the people praise thee, Lord!
Be by all that live adored;
Let the nations shout and sing
Glory to their Saviour King;
At thy feet their tribute pay,
And thy holy will obey.

Let the people praise thee, Lord;
Earth shall then her fruits afford;
God to man his blessing give,
Man to God devoted live;
All below, and all above,
One in joy and light and love.

H.F. Lyte

Now when you read the words, it doesn't really make it seem like a song that would make you cry. It's actually a hymn and its sang alot in the Anglican church and they sing in such a way it always makes me tear up, not in a sad way though a happy tear up. I am one of those people who believes God is a God of compassion and forgiveness, so whenever I hear this hymn it always reminds of his mercy and grace.

Continue enjoying the Metamorphosis.
