Mercy

I thought I deserved
Oh, to be six feet beneath the earth
For all the things I've done, the things I've said
The choices made that I regret
Oh, I would still be lost, oh,
But for the mercy of God.

Now I'm alive to tell the story
How I've overcome
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
I'm so glad that my freedom
Wasn't based on what I've done
But the goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood

I'm living proof
Of what the mercy of God can do
If You knew me then
You'd believe me now
He turned my whole life upside down
Took the old and He made it new
That's just what the mercy of God can do

Was the cross meant for me
That my Savior carried?
Now I've been made free
By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me
Where my sin lay buried?
Now I stand redeemed
By the mercy of God

And I'm alive to tell the story
How I've overcome
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
I'm so glad that my freedom
Wasn't based on what I've done
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
Goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood,
The power of the blood.
