Once there was a holy placeEvidence of God's embraceAnd I can almost see mercy's facePressed against the veilLooking down with longing eyesMercy must have realizedThat once His blood was sacrificedFreedom would prevailAnd as the sky grew darkAnd the earth began to shakeWith justice no longer in the way
Mercy came runningLike a prisoner set freePast all my failures to the point of my needWhen the sin that I carriedWas all I could seeAnd when I could not reach mercyMercy came running to me
Once there was a broken heartWay to human from the startAnd all the years left it torn apartHopeless and afraidWalls I never meant to buildLeft this prisoner unfulfilledFreedom called but even stillIt seemed so far awayI was bound by the chainsFrom the wages of my sinJust when I felt like giving in
Mercy came runningLike a prisoner set freePast all my failures to the point of my needWhen the sin that I carriedWas all I could seeAnd when I could not reach mercyMercy came running to me
Sometimes I still feel so farSo far from where I really should beHe gently calls to my heartJust to remind me
Mercy came runningLike a prisoner set freePast all my failures to the point of my needWhen the sin that I carriedWas all I could seeAnd when I could not reach mercyMercy came running to me
