Mercy Lyrics

[Intro]
On her knees, my mama cried
He may not come when you want Him, but He's always on time
Yes, He is, mmm

[Verse 1]
Life can be hard to understand
Years of hopeless dreams and empty plans
Sometimes it's heartache, sometimes pain
That makes His love seem far away
But He's right here, His word makes it clear

[Chorus]
He said I'll always be (Be) here (Here)
To hold you and wash away your fears
The pain (Pain)
Changes that life can bring (Life can bring)
Just call my name (Jesus)
Don't hesitate, through all times, I'll never change
And I'll give unto You my mercy
Oh, mercy, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
You know we all fall short of the grace and love of God
Destroyed by choices made so long ago
In a garden full of love and hope
We could've spent eternity perfect, sin-free
But man failed and God's love still prevailed
[Chorus]
He said I'll always be (Be) right here
(To hold you and wash away your fears) Oh
(The pain)
All the changes that life can bring, yeah
(Just call my name)
Call my name, don't hesitate
(Through all times, I'll never change) I'll never change
(And I'll give unto You my mercy)
Oh

[Bridge]
Hold me safely in Your loving arms
Father, please never let me go
In Your warm embrace, there will be no harm
When we're face to face, free from all sin
Saved by grace and the blood of the lamb
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

[Chorus]
I'll always be (Be here) I'm here, that's what He said
(To hold you and wash away your fears)
Oh, thank You, Father
(The pain)
(Changes life can bring) This old life can bring
(Just call my name) Call name
(Don't hesitate) Don't hesitate, no
(Through all times, I'll never change) I'll never change
(And I'll give unto You my mercy)
[Outro]
Oh, my mercy, hoo-hoo (Oh-oh)
His mercy and grace, oh (Mercy)
Oh, my Father, hoo (Lord, my mercy, I'm Yours forever)
Mercy (Mercy)
(Oh, my mercy, I'm Yours forever) I live for Your mercy, my Father
(Mercy, I'm Yours, oh, my mercy, I'm Yours forever)
Ooh, don't hesitate, no (Mercy)
(Mercy, I'm Yours) I'll be there, that's what He said
(My mercy, I'm Yours forever) Through all my trouble (Mercy)
(Mercy, I'm Yours) Hee-hee
(My mercy, I'm Yours forever) Oh, oh (Mercy)
(Mercy, I'm Yours, oh)
