Years ago I read the lyrics of this hymn and found it quite compelling-- I put it to new chords and here we are.  This is surely just a demo, but I'm glad to have a recording finally to have something I can improve upon. 

Wilt Thou Forgive

In Christ You Are

A very rough recording of a song I wrote. 
Grace and Peace.

Lyrics
VERSE 1

Skin, broken by time
This aching heart of mine
Brittle bones, wrecked by darkness
                 Where mercies rest
Lungs, choked with dust
Nerves, shot with rust
Tired eyes, flooded with darkness
       This is where mercies rest

CHORUS
Come and rest in His mercies
As mercies rest upon you
Hear the lullaby of surrender
From the One who is good
From the One who is true
From the One who loves you

VERSE 2
Columns, cracked and ancient
In this old house of mine
Broken saints racked by darkness
                 Where mercies rest
Families torn apart
Flocks, frightened by thunder
Liberated slaves hiding in darkness
        This is where mercies rest

CHORUS
Come and rest in His mercies
As mercies rest upon you
Hear the lullaby of surrender
From the One who is good
From the One who is true
From the God who loves you

BRIDGE
(Men) As darkness grows
(Women) Come rest, come rest
As nights grow cold
Come rest, come rest
When you’re too tired to try
Come rest, come rest
When you're all but gone
Come rest, come rest

(Repeat)

This is where mercies rest...

CHORUS
Come and rest in His mercies
As mercies rest upon you
Hear the lullaby of surrender
From the God who is good
From the God who is true
From the God who loves you

 

He loves you...

Come rest...
