Mercy

I was hollow and closed
In the morning I could not see
Your beloved goodness
Rained itself out on me
I raged against You
Like a river on a stone
But against that tidal wave
I am overthrown

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

I was lost in the worldly
Into leaning on myself
I played that religion card
I put Jesus on a shelf
Born into darkness
I kept putting off the grace
Thinking my own goodness
Could get me through heaven's gates

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

I begged You to come
And take away all my ancient fears
This bloodied history
We all cling onto so dear
All around me was a blinded fantasy
Truth in the mirror of foul vanity

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

You walk upon heaven
You walked upon the earth
You brought and bought salvation
For me, a second birth
You took my broken cross up to cavalry
You sang my redemption song
While hanging on my tree

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
