Only Hope

The words of the song Only Hope by Caedmon's Call spoke to me as I was sitting in traffic today. I share them with you here:

Depth of mercy can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God, your wrath forbear
Me the chief of sinners, spare?

Chorus
It's my only hope
You're my only hope
It's my only hope of Heaven
At the cross forgiven...

I have long withstood your grace
Long provoked you to your face
Would not harken to your calls
Grieved you by a thousand falls

There for me the Savior stands
Shows his wounds and spreads His hands
Face to face before the Son
And like Isaiah I'm undone

Depth of mercy, vast and free
So much deeper than the sea
God of love, you heard my cry
Now into your open arms I fly
