Mercy



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Phil Naish



You spoke the word

And lit the day

With loving hands

You formed the clay

And made the ones

Who would betray

Your mercy



On a mountain side

They heard You speak

Saying, Blessed are the poor

And meek

And on Your knees

You washed their feet

Oh, mercy



CHORUS:

Your mercy shines like the morning

When the darkness runs

From the day

Like the rising sun

Oh, Your glory

Chases the shadows away

And we are changed

By mercy



To bear the nails to save a friend

Is a thought I cannot comprehend

But to die for those

Who drove them in

That's Your mercy



And though heaven

Truly has in store

An eternity of great rewards

The only thing I'm praying for

Is Your mercy



CHORUS



Let Your mercy fill my heart



CHORUS
