Lyrics
Verse 1
Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost our way
Oh, we've hopelessly lost the way
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for

Meaning & Inspiration
Wonderful Merciful Saviour / My Heart Will Trust praises God through names that describe rescue, guidance, comfort, healing, and faithful care. The opening presents Christ as the Lamb who saves human souls, then turns toward the Spirit as Counselor, Comforter, and Keeper. Hope is offered precisely where direction has been lost, making divine grace the answer to weakness rather than a reward for strength.
The chorus gathers these themes into adoration. God alone receives praise because He supplies the healing and grace for which the heart longs. The final verse addresses the almighty Father whose infinite greatness does not make Him distant; He finds His people in weakness and receives them before His throne. That movement from rescue to dependence reflects biblical teaching about Christ the Lamb, the Spirit as Helper, and confident approach to the throne of grace. The repeated chorus leaves the song in worshipful hunger for God’s continuing care.
