I've seen the darkness

And it saw me

But here in the light

Where the dark can't see

There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

Now I am found

But once was lost

And there in the gutter

Where the wheels came off

There was a sweet glow of mercy that covered me



It picked me up

And set me right

Brought me day

And killed my night

Mercy's there at every turn

Mercy gives what I can't earn

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy

Yeah, that sweet glow of mercy

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me



I've been known to run

But I can't hide

I can't get away

From the light inside

There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

I have fun

I got fast

But when the pull

Of this life has passed

There will be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me



It'll pick me up

And set me right

Bring me day

And kill my night

Mercy's there at every turn

Mercy gives what I can't earn

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy

Yeah, that sweet glow of mercy

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me



I'm talking 'bout that sweet glow of mercy

See the sweet glow of mercy

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me



And if I die before I wake

There's no doubt what soul he'll take

There would be a sweet glow of mercy

Yeah, the sweet glow of mercy

There'll be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me



There will be a sweet glow of mercy

Yeah, a sweet glow of mercy

There'll be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

I'm living in the sweet glow of mercy

I'm loving that sweet glow of mercy

I'm happy in the sweet glow of mercy that covers me



I'm laughing in the sweet glow of mercy

I'm dancing in the sweet glow of mercy

I'm loving this sweet glow of mercy that covers me



There's such a sweet glow

Such a sweet glow

There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me
