Fountainview Academy - Depth of Mercy Lyrics

Fountainview Academy sings "Depth of Mercy", a hymn of repentance that opens with a question the singer cannot answer alone: "Can there be mercy still reserved for me?" The words describe a person who calls himself "the chief of sinners" and asks whether God's wrath can be held back. The first stanza is a plea, and everything after it follows from that plea.

The second verse turns the question into action. The singer asks to be moved to repent, to grieve over sin, to weep, to believe and to stop sinning. Faith and repentance are named together as two parts of one turn toward God.

The repeated chorus keeps the posture simple: on the knees, with the soul pleading. The closing lines repeat "mercy still reserved" until the question starts to sound like an answer. The arrangement suits choirs and school chapel settings, and the page presents the stanzas in the order of this recording.
