I'm a liar, You know it's true I'm a thief, and a beggar, too But I've heard You can make me new There's a stranger I don't want to see In the mirror staring back at me He's not the man I hoped he'd be
So help me God, so help me God
You are Mercy You are Mercy Dear God have mercy on me
God it's lonely in this crowded street Where we touch but stay out of reach And we're all wounded but afraid to bleed We pray for peace while our hands make war We've had our fill and still we grab for more We've forgotten what our hands are for
So help us God, so help us God
You are Mercy You are Mercy Dear God have mercy on us Heaven help us Please forgive us Dear God have mercy on us
Let mercy fall like rain to wash The sidewalks clean To grow love green Mercy not just to fall on me But to set me free And to flow through me
You are mercy You are mercy Dear God have mercy on me Please forgive me Heaven help me Be Your mercy Through my blinded eyes now see Through my wounded heart now bleed With my violent hands now heal Through my broken life reveal You are Mercy… (Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done through me...)
