Lyrics

Ohhh in the still of midnight's hush where shadows whisper low and deep down in my soul I'm cryin' out oh Lord for Your light to guide me through the weepin' rain These ancient wounds they throb and ache like thunder buried in my tired weary bones But Your mercy rushes like a floodin' Georgia river mendin' this shattered heart whole again Oh mercy (mercy) sweet mercy (sweet mercy) come pourin' down like heaven's gentle rain on me (rain on me) Wash away my heavy sorrows (wash 'em away) break these chains and set my spirit free (set me free) From the golden throne in glory high (glory high) to the dusty Atlanta ground where I kneel and pray Your grace wraps 'round me like a choir's warm embrace in mercy's arms I heal today Mercy (mercy) oh mercy (oh mercy) hear this soul's desperate tremblin' plea (hear my plea) In Your everlasting boundless love forevermore Lord let me be (let me be) Can you feel that mercy flowin'? Lead: Yeah it's liftin' me higher! Like the voices in the choir risin'? Lead: From Atlanta's streets to heaven's fire! I've strayed far from that narrow path chasin' glitter that turns to rust and dust in the wind Forgot my sacred callin' Lord broke every vow and every trust I held within But You don't turn away from me no You dive right into the ragin' flame of my sin Arms flung wide like the gates of heaven softly whisperin' my name pullin' me in Oh mercy (mercy) sweet mercy (sweet mercy) come pourin' down like heaven's gentle rain on me (rain on me) Wash away my heavy sorrows (wash 'em away) break these chains and set my spirit free (set me free) From the golden throne in glory high (glory high) to the dusty Atlanta ground where I kneel and pray Your grace wraps 'round me like a choir's warm embrace in mercy's arms I heal today Mercy (mercy) oh mercy (oh mercy) hear this soul's desperate tremblin' plea (hear my plea) In Your everlasting boundless love forevermore Lord let me be (let me be) Ain't no debt weighin' too heavy (no no) no darkness too thick and profound to break through Your light crashes in like thunder rollin' (rollin' on) shakes this sleepin' soul to holy ground anew I was wanderin' lost in the wild (lost and alone) eyes blinded heart cold and astray in the night But Your tender mercy oh sweet Lord (sweet Lord) has redeemed and shown the way with Your light Mercy liftin' mercy healin' mercy callin' me home! Oh mercy (mercy) sweet mercy (sweet mercy) come pourin' down like heaven's gentle rain on me (rain on me Lord) Wash away my heavy sorrows (wash 'em all away) break these chains and set my spirit free (set me free indeed) From the golden throne in glory high (high in glory) to the dusty Atlanta ground where I kneel and pray (kneel and pray) Your grace wraps 'round me like a choir's warm embrace in mercy's arms I heal today (heal me today) Mercy (mercy) oh mercy (oh mercy) forever and ever hear my tremblin' plea (hear my plea oh Lord) In Your boundless endless love I surrender ( I surrender) eternally (eternally yeah) Choir Fade: Mercy... mercy... sweet mercy...
