Mercy          By John Flynn Although it was in despair it Longed for peace and so your spirit Laid your anger down to stay free From your prison you forgave me Trapped within a heart that hated I too was incarcerated By scars someone else inflicted Never could I have predicted Mercy would saved my life ‘cause Mercy showed me when I was Thirsty for condemnation Mercy was my salvation Mercy pride could not ask for Mercy’s redemption cried your Worthy to be blessed with this Mercy and sweet forgiveness So much had been taken from me Fear and rage I felt help numb me To wounds even I could not see To my very humanity You reached but I doubted when you Told them you forgave me then you Met me and I realized That I saw within your eyes Mercy saved my life because Mercy taught me when I was Thirsty for retribution Mercy was my solution Mercy he did not ask for Mercy’s redemption cried your Worthy to be blessed with this Mercy and sweet forgiveness Mercy can heal the soul Mercy can make you whole Mercy can ease your pain Mercy can break the chains Mercy can give but it takes Mercy for all our mistakes Forgive us our trespasses Raise us up from these ashes Lashing out with hells own fury I had been your judge and jury Enraged every time you pleaded Innocent though you proceeded To prove though you felt forsaken In those years that I had taken From this wrong would come some justice And now you’ve taught me to trust this Mercy saved my life because Mercy showed me when I was Thirsty for bitter vengeance Mercy’d commute my sentence Mercy I could not ask for Mercy’s redemption cried your Worthy to be blessed with this Mercy and sweet forgiveness © 2015 Flying Stone Music www.johnflynn.net
