great mercy

"O merciful heart of God, grant me yet again Thy forgiveness. Hear my sorrowful tale and in Thy great mercy blot it out from the book of Thy remembrance. Give me faith so to lay hold of Thine own holiness and so to rejoice in the righteousness of Christ my Saviour that, resting on His merits rather than on my own, I may more and more become confirmed to His likeness, my will becoming one with His in obedience to Thine. All this I ask for His holy name's sake. Amen." ~John Baillie
