About the Song
Matt Boswell and Matt Papa are contemporary worship leaders and hymn writers focused on gospel-centered songs; Boswell is a Texas-based pastor and musician, while Papa is known for acoustic-driven modern hymns. They co-authored it under Getty Music, blending poetic theology with singable melodies for church use.
The song draws from a letter by John Newton (author of "Amazing Grace") to a parishioner struggling with sin and doubt, emphasising God's mercy surpassing human failings - like sins "thrown into a sea without bottom or shore." Newton, a former slave trader redeemed by grace, provided the core theme of overwhelming divine kindness.
LYRICS
Chorus
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness; new every morn
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more

What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness; new every morn
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more

What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father, so tender, is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness; new every morn
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness; new every morn
Our sins, they are many, His mercy is more
