Lyrics
Mercy
Verse 1:
I can hardly believe after everything I've done,
I can still come to You with the innocence of a newborn son.
Yet You walk with me through places that You'd rather not be,
And I feel the Hand of Grace pulling, pushing, tugging at me.
Pre-Chorus 1:
Don't hide behind the pain in honesty.
Confessing hidden sin will lead to Mercy.
Chorus 1:
When I'm down and reaching out, still clinging to my doubt,
You still have Mercy.
When I search my mind for blame, and I stumble on my shame,
You still have Mercy. Sweet Mercy, Mercy on me.
Verse 2:
I thank You Lord that it finally came to this.
You hold me in Your arms with Love and no prejudice.
I feel Your Mercy rush over like a flood,
All because of three rusty nails, a Dogwood tree, and Your Blood.
Pre-Chorus 2:
Don't hide behind the pain in honesty.
Confessing hidden sin will lead to Mercy.
Chorus 2:
When I'm down and reaching out, still clinging to my doubt,
You still have Mercy.
When I search my mind for blame, and I stumble on my shame,
You still have Mercy.
When my heart cries out to You and I ask for what's undue,
You still have Mercy.
Although my Faith has been brief, still a child in my belief,
You still have Mercy. Sweet Mercy. Mercy on, Mercy on, Mercy on me.
Repeat Chorus 2
