Chorus 1 Verse 1 Chorus 2 Verse 2 Verse 3 Chorus 3 Song by Shane & Shane Writers: Matt Boswell, Matt Papa Report Story But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. (Romans 5:20) The truth is our sins are overwhelming. The magnitude of their number is enormous. We are natural born sinners. There are so many terrible or shameful things we’ve done, thought, and said. There are so many good things that we neglected, failed to do, or refused to do. We identify with the confession of Ezra that “our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens.” (Ezra 9:6) Likewise, we sing with solidarity the lyrics of David’s lament, “My iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me” (Psalm 38:4). We are sinners and there’s no doubt about it. Our rap sheet says it all as it piles into a heap rising high above our heads. This dark and dismal reality is enough to make our palms sweat. And that’s where the gospel bursts forth with explosive mercy! The mercy of God is greater than your sin. The grace of God is stronger than your sin. The kindness of God overwhelms your sin. The compassion of God smothers your sin. The goodness of God is literally larger than your sin. Do you believe it yet? Is it sinking in? Do you feel the stronghold of shame beginning to erode under the force of God’s mercy? This is why we call it good news. There is no better news for sinners like us. Praise God. Thousands of years ago, Paul penned the powerful words “But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” Here recently, Matt Boswell and Matt Papa coined the phrase “Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.” May God use this powerful anthem to help us grab hold of His tangible and abundant mercy tightly with both hands. “His Mercy Is More” What love could remember no wrongs we have done? What patience would wait as we constantly roam? What riches of kindness He lavished on us! Praise the Lord! His mercy is more! CLICK THE LINK TO WATCH THE
