All Because of Mercy (Live at The Ryman)
I could stand here and try to tell you
I found my way here on my own
I brought to life this heart of stone
Made up my own mind
To change my own life
Workin' my own way to good
As if anybody could
But the truth is I've been broken since my very first breath
And the truth is that I've been wandering since my very first step
I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
There's nowhere I could earn it
Praise God my debt is paid
It's not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
Raise your hand if that's your story tonight, my friend
Let's get up on our feet
Sing this out with us
I still remember
The day He found me
Six feet under all my shame
I heard Him call me out by name
Hallelujah
The cross has spoken
Jesus, my Saviour bled and died
To bring this dead man back to life
I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is not because I'm worthy
It's because of mercy
There's nowhere I could earn it
Praise God my debt is paid
It's not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
Do you ever want to shout tonight
I'm just as desperate for You now as I was back then
If I ever should forget, remind me once again
I'm just as desperate for you now as I was back then
If I ever should forget, remind me once again
Alright, you guys, are you ready?
I know the only reason
I'm stand here unashamed
Is not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
There's nowhere I could earn it
Praise God My debt is paid
It's not because I'm worthy
Thank you Jesus for Your mercy
It's all because of mercy
Oh hallelujah
It's all because of mercy
Amen
I found my way here on my own
I brought to life this heart of stone
Made up my own mind
To change my own life
Workin' my own way to good
As if anybody could
But the truth is I've been broken since my very first breath
And the truth is that I've been wandering since my very first step
I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
There's nowhere I could earn it
Praise God my debt is paid
It's not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
Raise your hand if that's your story tonight, my friend
Let's get up on our feet
Sing this out with us
I still remember
The day He found me
Six feet under all my shame
I heard Him call me out by name
Hallelujah

To bring this dead man back to life

Praise God my debt is paid
It's not because I'm worthy
It's all because of mercy
Do you ever want to shout tonight

If I ever should forget, remind me once again
I'm just as desperate for you now as I was back then

It's not because I'm worthy
Thank you Jesus for Your mercy
It's all because of mercy
Oh hallelujah
It's all because of mercy
Amen
