You Are Mercy - Jason Gray

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…)
