Nichole Nordeman - Mercies New lyrics

Is it fair to say I was lured away? By endless distractions and lovelier attractions then Or fairer still, my own free will Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess I've made again So I would understand if You were out of patience And I would understand if I was out of chances And Your mercies are new every morning So let me wake with the dawn When the music is through or so it seems to be Then let me sing a new song, old things gone Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new The distance left between East and West Is how far You would go to forget the debt I'd owe And thrown into the sea, the wicked ways in me Will never have a chance to wash back on the sand So I would understand if You would make me pay And I would understand lying in the bed I made again Your mercies are new every morning So let me wake with the dawn When the music is through or so it seems to be Let me sing a new song, old things gone Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new Up comes the sun on every one of us Gone, gone, gone the guilt and shame that knew Your name Your mercies are new every morning So let me wake with the dawn When the music is through or so it seems to be Let me sing a new song, old things gone Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new
