A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)
"Pleading For Mercy"
1. LORD, I'm a sinner, vile and poor,
But prostrate at Thy feet;
Behold I knock at mercy's door,
And for my life entreat.
2. By nature guilty, curs'd, and dead,
Deserving wrath and hell;
But Christ, the sinner's Surety bled,
Because He lov'd them well.
3. 'Tis Mercy! Mercy! Lord, I crave,
Nought else can reach my case;
O meet me, Lord, forgive and save,
By rich and sov'reign grace.
4. Father, I bring no other plea,
No other plea is given:
But Jesus liv'd, and died for me,
And this secures my heaven.
