"O God, Be Merciful": A Meditative Hymn on Luke 18:9–14 This reflective hymn brings to life the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, found in Luke 18:9–14. With gentle melody and contemplative lyrics, it invites listeners to examine their hearts, lay down pride, and approach God with humility. Each verse paints the stark contrast between self-righteousness and true repentance—culminating in a heartfelt refrain that cries out for mercy. Perfect for use during Lent, reconciliation services, or personal prayer and meditation. “O God, be merciful, we cry...” A song for every soul that’s ever come to the end of itself—and found grace at the foot of the cross.
