Drew Holcomb And The Neighbors - Mercy lyrics

I was hollow and closed, in the morning I could not see Your beloved goodness rained 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 Well I was tossed in the wealthy And leaning on myself I played that religion card; I put Jesus on a shelf Born into darkness I kept putting off the grave Oh yeah, thinking my own goodness could get me through heaven's gates I beg You to come and take away all my ancient fears This bloodied history we all cling onto so dear All around me was a blinded fantasy. the truth in the mirror of a foul vanity You walk upon heaven, You walked upon the earth You brought me my salvation; for me, a second birth You took my broken cross up to cavalry You sang my redemption song, well hang it on my tree
