Bluesy swingy rhythm
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
