Phillips Craig & Dean Album: Greatest Hits Track: Mercy Came Running
Mercy Came Running Lyrics
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
Chorus: 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 to human from the start And all the years left it 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
Repeat Chorus
Sometimes I still feel so far So far from where I really should be He gently calls to my heart Just to remind me
