He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which He poured richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercy and the God of every comfort.
I will sing of mercy and justice; to You O lord, I will sing praises.
Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever!
And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation.
Let Your face shine on Your servant. Save me for Your mercy’s sake and in Your lovingkindness.
To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not beforever. silent. I will give thanks to You forever.
But, because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved.
