It is on You Tube under Mercy, but you have to look for it. You could also search Come Spring, that is the album the Rambos do it. That is where I found it.

OK what is the name of the song?? I have had the hardest time finding it on the YouTube!!!!

Is there a way I could find sheet music for this song? I have searched online.

My sweet aunt sang this a lot in church with my uncle playing the guitar. Both have passed on now, but I do have a recording of them. It is my ring tone.

Joe Hatfield did write it.
Dottie Rambo knew "little joe "
& probably did sing his song.
Joes wife veronica often played for Dottie when she was in western Kentucky area singing. I sure fo miss him. He ministered to my husband and I many times. What a special servant of God!

These are the lyrics I've always sang, but they're a bit different than those listed above:

Verse:
I was a sinner just struggling along
When God's hand of mercy reached down from His throne
There at the altar where I knelt so depraved
God gave me mercy when my sins He forgave

Chorus:
It's His mercy, His Mercy, It's God's love and mercy
That saved both you, you and me
Oh if we had gotten justice we'd surely be lost
God gave me mercy when my sins He forgave

Verse:
How many times have I bowed before God
To ask His forgiveness for wrong I had done
How many times have I heard My Lord say
Child as long as I have mercy your forgiven today

Chorus
It's His mercy, His mercy, It's God's love and mercy
Was saved, both you, you and me
Oh if we had gotten justice we'd surely be lost
But God gave me mercy when my sins He forgave

I love singing of God's mercy to me and others!

Excellent song !! javascript:paste_string(document.PForm.message,' ')

Dottie Rambo wrote the song, and recorded it. Her website should show the song listed, and the original album that it first appeared on.

verse 1:
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I BOWED BEFORE GOD
TO ASK HIS FORGIVENESS FOR SOME WRONG I HAVE DONE
AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I HEARD THE LORD SAY
CHILD AS LONG AS I HAVE MERCY YOUR FORGIVEN TODAY

chorus:
MERCY, MERCY, GODS LOVE AND MERCY
THAT SAVED BOTH YOU, YOU AND ME
IF WE HAD GOTTEN JUSTICE, WE WOULD SURELY BE LOST
BUT WE FOUND MERCY WHEN WE KNELT AT THE CROSS

verse 2:
I WAS A SINNER, JUST STRUGGLING ALONG
WHEN GOD'S GREAT HAND OF MERCY
REACHED DOWN FROM HEAVENS THROWN
AND IT WAS THERE ON THAT OLD ALTAR
THAT I BOWED SO OPPRESSED
BUT THEN GOD GAVE ME MERCY WHEN MY SINS I CONFESSED

chorus:
MERCY, MERCY, GODS LOVE AND MERCY
THAT SAVED BOTH YOU, YOU AND ME
IF WE HAD GOTTEN JUSTICE, WE WOULD SURELY BE LOST
BUT WE FOUND MERCY WHEN WE KNELT AT THE CROSS
