a little video.

here's a quick video my "co-intern", stewart, put together about RUF at wake forest. i really like to have visuals, don't you?

i love the song here, thy mercy my God. in fact, the last two lines of the first verse was my

senior quote. i remember being greatly affected by the second verse when i was a freshman

at auburn... it really gripped me that without the great mercy of Christ i truly would be in

despair. but, by His sovereign grace, i can live and have hope.

"Thy Mercy My God"

1. Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart. and the boast of my tongue;
Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,
Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast.

2. Without Thy sweet mercy I could not live here;
Sin would reduce me to utter despair;
But, through Thy free goodness, my spirits revive,
And He that first made me still keeps me alive.

3. Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground,
And weep to the praise of the mercy I’ve found.

4. Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own,
And the covenant love of Thy crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
