Intro

I was hollow and closed, in the morning I could not see

Your beloved goodness reigned 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 and uh leanin' 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 in heaven's gates

Mercy, mercy

Mercy, mercy

I beg you to come and take away all my ancient fears

This bloodied history we all cling on to 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 n bought salvation, for me, a second birth

You took my broken cross up to Calvary

You sang my redemption song while hanging on my tree

Mercy, mercy

Mercy, mercy

Mercy, mercy

Mercy, mercy
