Song Meaning of “Wonderful, Merciful Saviour” by Songs Of Praise
This song is an expression of joy and thankfulness for God’s wonderful grace and merciful love. The words speak of the grace – “Wonderful, merciful savior, precious Redeemer and Friend” – and of the deep and profound love we receive from the Lord – “Who would have thought that a King would stoop so low, to pardon and cleanse and to heal”. The despair and darkness of our lives before God’s grace is recalled too – “I was lost but He brought me in, wearing garments of praise”.
This song is a celebration of the hope that is found in the Lord Jesus, and of His great salvation worked out for us. We may have been “Deep in sin, chained in bondage, bound in despair”, but the truth is that through Christ, God has brought us into His marvelous light. We are “now adopted in love” and are “proclaiming freedom”. It is a joyous call to cling and love the Lord and to remain in His incredible love.
