His Holiness Pope Shenouda III raises praise and a supplicatory prayer for the vast mercy of God, confessing his sins and beseeching that the Lord not remember them, and that He forgive them and accept repentance.

🌿 Main Idea:
The hymn repeats that the mercy of God is very many, more than drops of rain, more than the sand of the seas, more than the eyes of eyes from our sins; it is uncountable and innumerable.

🙏 Confession and Repentance:
The content includes a confession of sins and a request that the Lord’s justice not remember them, and a plea to accept repentance and return to God, with a hope that He accepts petitions and prayers and returns them with mercy.

💧Images of Mercy:
Images such as rain, sand, stars, the plants of the earth, and the mountains are used to illustrate the abundance of God’s mercy compared to the multitude of our sins and our limited ability to count them.

🔥 Weeping and Repentance:
The praise expresses repentant sorrow, and a call to learn repentance and to work on it, with a request that the Lord accept the repentant and have mercy on them and forgive them.

🕊 Request for Peace and Grace:
Requests are raised for inner peace and blessing, that God’s peace may dwell in souls and that worship may ascend with God’s mercy upon His servants.

🔔 Practical Application:
The prayer reminds the believer to seek God’s mercy in his weakness, asks for help to live a life of repentance, and to stand firm in virtue under God’s just and merciful rule.

💖 Conclusion:
The conclusion affirms that God’s mercy is comprehensive and very many, and that hope in His mercy is the way to forgiveness and spiritual assurance.
