“When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us

on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?’”

For nothing good have I whereby Thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white in the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

His Mercy is More Matt Papa & Matt Boswell

Verse 1

What love could remember, no wrongs we have done? Omniscient all-knowing, He counts not their sum

Thrown into a sea, without bottom or shore Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Verse 2

What patience would wait, as we constantly roam? What Father so tender, is calling us home?

He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Chorus

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more Stronger than darkness, new every morn

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Verse 3 What riches of kindness, He lavished on us

His blood was the payment, His life was the cost We stood 'neath a debt, we could never afford

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

{Chorus} x2

Ending Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.
