4 verses and a refrain, meter 7s., public domain, free to print and project.
The words
Verse 1. Depth of mercy! can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
Refrain God is love; I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps and loves me still;
Jesus weeps and loves me still.
Verse 2. I have long withstood his grace,
Long provoked him to his face;
Would not hearken to his calls;
Grieved him by a thousand falls.
Verse 3. There for me the Savior stands;
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands;
God is love; I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, and loves me still.
Verse 4. Now incline me to repent;
Let me now my fall lament;
Now my foul revolt deplore;
Weep, believe, and sin no more.
Sing the refrain after every verse.
