While condemnation imprisons,
Mercy frees us by God's grace;
Outstretched, God's arms extend to us
Enfolding in Love's embrace.
It's God's unmerited mercy
Reaching His hand when we call,
That restores us to fellowship
Whenever we stumble and fall.
And God says that we must likewise
Let mercy extend a hand
To one who has also wronged us,
For this is God's just command.
For God has shown us what is good,
What's required of you and me;
We're to walk humbly with our God,
Act justly and love mercy.
"He has showed you, O Man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8).

With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
