One Drop

One Drop

 

He gave of Himself,

Of all His heavenly wealth.

In a flood of His love,

His will done.

 

One drop of His grace

And circumstances change.

He does not slack,

Nor does He hold back.

 

Giving from His hand,

His blessings withstand.

One drop… one drop…

His mercies never stop.

 

Need a love to cherish?

Try one drop of His.

For it covers a multitude of sins,

On this, you can depend.

 

Sing unto His Name.

Jesus is worthy of praise.

One drop… one drop…

On hearts does He knock.

 

One drop of His blood,

And to our souls healing floods.

One drop of His blood is powerful to the called--

Just think… Christ gave it all!

The "mercy" of religion in general is tremendously overstated and usually done so by those with only a superficial understanding of scripture and history coupled with a selective interpretation that suits their limited worldview and immediate circumstance but has little to nothing to do with reality. Violence, war, intolerance, genocide, guilt, hate and the oppression of anything different is and has been the norm for the past few thousand years in terms of what religion is really about. I actually have less respect for blind followers such as yourself than I do for those who champion the darker parts of what being religious actually means in the real world.... at least they aren't deluding themselves into an objectively false reality, they know what religion is really about, as disgusting as it really is.... they aren't willfully ignorant to it. On a slightly unrelated note... don't delete this review just because it's not in line with what you believe, that would be just plain intellectually dishonest.
