Intro
Verse 1
Once there was a holy place. Evidence of Gods embrace.
I can almost see mercys face, pressed against the veil.
Looking down with longing eyes, mercy must have realized.
Once His blood was sacrificed freedom would prevail.
And as the sky grew dark, and the earth began to shake.
With justice no longer in the way!
Chorus
Mercy Came a runnin' like a prisner set free.
Past all my failures, to the point of my need.
When the sin that I carried, was all I could see.
And when I could not reach mercy,
Mercy came a runnin to me.
Once there was a broken heart. Way to human from the start.
All the years left it torn apart, hopeless and afraid.
Walls I never meant to build, left this prisner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still, it seemed so far away.
I was bound by the chains, from the wages of my sin!
Just when I felt like givin in!
Chorus
Mercy Came a runnin' like a prisner set free.
Past all my failures, to the point of my need.
When the sin that I carried, was all I could see.
And when I could not reach mercy,
Mercy came a runnin to me.
Bridge
Sometimes I still feel so far!
So far from where I really should be.
He gently calls to my heart! Just to remind me!
