MERCY SAY NO!

I was due for judgment.
The evidence stacked,
The verdict clear—
Guilty.
No excuse. No alibi.
Just me… and my mistakes
On display before a holy God.
The accuser pointed,
Justice demanded,
Wrath stood ready to strike.
And I—
I had nothing to say.
I couldn’t argue with the truth.
I was due…
But then—
Mercy stepped in.
And with a voice soft but mighty,
Strong but sweet,
He said,
"No."
“Mercy said no…”
Not because I deserved it,
But because He desired me.
Not because I was clean,
But because He could cleanse me.
I was due for judgment—
But Grace rewrote my story.
I was sentenced for shame—
But Love took my place in glory.
The gavel never fell.
The chains never closed.
Because Mercy—
Mercy stood and said,
“NO.”
He blocked the blow.
He bore the weight.
He took the scars.
He sealed my fate…
With freedom.
So now, when the past comes knocking,
And guilt comes talking,
I just point to the cross—
And whisper back:
I was due for judgment…
But Mercy said no.
