Independence Day starts with the Power of God. He has been merciful in all things by blessing our great nation. He also blesses me, personally, with independence by His gifts, and I acknowledge all His ways.
God see all and is merciful! When I am wrong, He see. When I troubled, He sees. When I cry, He sees.
Mercies Given
Great are Your mercies, O Lord!
You hear me when I cry
From Your throne on high.
You reach out to guide,
And I know You are by my side and abide.
When sadness or glee enters my eye,
Lord, You know why!
You watch when my tears flow,
And my troubles, You know.
You understand and revive me
Within my sorrowful plea.
When my eyes shed streams of water,
I know you love me, your sinful daughter.
You are my hiding place,
As I seek Your face.
With every shimmering tear,
You are there to care and cheer.
Great are Your mercies and forgivings,
Helping me through my daily livings.
In my sobbing disgrace,
Your peace enters my space.
When I weep
Your presence makes my heart joyfully leap.
You establish my ways
Throughout my days.
You, O Lord, are my help in times of distress,
And I am blessed.
Great are Your mercies!

“Behold as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.” Psalm 123:2 KJV
