Desperate to experience Him.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Father of Mercy” by David Dam is a worship recording that alternates spoken exhortation with short sung choruses. The spoken sections invite listeners to cry out to God and recall that believers may come boldly before the throne of grace. The choruses then change the name God is called by, “Father of Spirits,” “Father of Mercy,” “Heavenly Father,” while the response stays the same: “I call on You,” or “I come to You.”
The outro extends the pattern to other needs, calling on the God of all wisdom, the God of all power for supernatural intervention, and the God of revival, with the line “our generation is crying.” The verse admits there is nowhere else to run and says, “Only You has the words of life.”
The lyric is close to Hebrews 4:16, James 1:5 and John 6:68. It is mostly extended prayer, built for open-ended, repeated worship.
