A Debtor to Mercy

My desire is to use this forum to “proclaim the excellencies of him who called [me] out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).

About Me

My photo
Wyeth Duncan
“By the grace of God I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:10). Born to an unwed teenaged mother and raised by my great-grandparents, as a teenager, God sovereignly shined in my soul, giving “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6), and I was born again. I’m a professional musician, music educator and preacher of the gospel. I’ve also been richly blessed with a wonderful wife and two sons, for which I am most grateful.

A Debtor to Mercy Alone

A debtor to mercy alone,
Of covenant mercy I sing;
Nor fear, with Thy righteousness on,
My person and offering to bring.
The terrors of law and of God
With me can have nothing to do;
My Savior's obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view.

The work which His goodness began,
The arm of His strength will complete;
His promise is yea and amen,
And never was forfeited yet.
Things future, nor things that are now,
Nor all things below nor above
Can make Him His purpose forego,
Or sever my soul from His love.

My name from the palms of His hands
Eternity will not erase;
Impressed on His heart it remains
In marks of indelible grace.
Yes, I to the end shall endure,
As sure as the earnest is given.
More happy, but not more secure,
The glorified spirits in heaven.

—Rev. Augustus M. Toplady (1740-1778)
