Great and Merciful God
Released: January 9, 2022
I love you, my Lord, my Lord
Your glory fills my heart
You’re a merciful God
Such a merciful God
You’re a merciful God with hope and love and understanding
The pain You take, the price has been paid
With love and light, Your truth and Your goodness
Jesus, the King has washed death away
— Lyrics: Verse 1, Chorus 1

I love you, my Lord, my Lord
Your glory fills my heart
You’re a merciful God
Such a merciful God
You’re a merciful God with hope and love and understanding
The pain You take, the price has been paid
With love and light, Your truth and Your goodness
Jesus, the King has washed death away
You never leave me helplessly calling
You’re a merciful God
Such a merciful God
Your holiness fills my body
You’re a merciful God
Such a merciful God
You’re a merciful God with hope and love and understanding
The pain You take, the price has been paid
With love and light, Your truth and Your goodness
Jesus, the King has washed death away
Blessed are the righteous, blessed are their prayers
Blessed are the righteous, blessed are their prayers
You tell me it gives You great pleasure
To give Your little flock the Kingdom of heaven
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid

The Story Behind the Artwork
Before Jesus saved me out of demon possession and utter hell, I did a film clip on our farm in Birdwood, South Australia. This is me on the cover for “Great and Merciful God,” leading one of our horses on our property. It was for that video right before it happened.
“Great and Merciful God” was one of the first testimonial songs I wrote after Jesus rescued me out of terrible witchcraft and death by my music manager. I chose this picture because it reminds me that without Christ, there is no hope. God is merciful, great, and all-powerful when we trust Him, like I did when there was no hope around me.
