|
Once there was a holy place |
|
Evidence of God's embrace |
|
And I can almost see mercy's face |
|
Pressed against the veil |
|
Looking down with longing eyes |
|
Mercy must have realized |
|
That once His blood was sacrificed |
|
Freedom would prevail |
|
And as the sky grew dark |
|
And the earth began to shake |
|
With justice no longer in the way |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Like a prisoner set free |
|
Past all my failures |
|
To the point of my need |
|
When the sin that I carried |
|
Was all I could see |
|
And when I could not reach mercy |
|
Mercy came running to me |
|
Once there was a broken heart |
|
Way too human from the start |
|
And all the years left you torn apart |
|
Hopeless and afraid |
|
Walls I never meant to build |
|
Left this prisoner unfulfilled |
|
Freedom called but even still |
|
It seemed so far away |
|
I was bound by the chains |
|
From the wages of my sin |
|
Just when I felt like giving in |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Like a prisoner set free |
|
Past all my failures |
|
To the point of my need |
|
When the sin that I carried |
|
Was all I could see |
|
And when I could not reach mercy |
|
Mercy came running to me |
|
Sometimes I still feel so far |
|
So far from where I really should be |
|
He gently calls to my heart |
|
Just to remind me |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Like a prisoner set free |
|
Past all my failures |
|
To the point of my need |
|
When the sin that I carried |
|
Was all I could see |
|
And when I could not reach mercy |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Like a prisoner set free |
|
Past all my failures |
|
To the point of my need |
|
When the sin that I carried |
|
Was all I could see |
|
And when I could not reach mercy |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Mercy came running |
|
Like a prisoner set free |
|
Past all my failures |
|
To the point of my need |
|
When the sin that I carried |
|
Was all I could see |
|
And when I could not reach mercy |
|
Mercy came running |
