mercy

Written by: Laura Hackett Park, Jonathan Engle, Jonathan Aldy

Verse 1

Seventy times seven

I don't get what I deserve

I’d be lost in my darkness without You of that I’m sure

I’m so thankful You found me when I cried in my distress

You sent Your word and You healed me when I turned and I confessed

Chorus

Mercy, mercy

Jesus You delight in

Mercy, mercy

Jesus You delight in me

Verse 2

When my shame was uncovered and my sin before You, Lord

You didn't push me away, nor did You pick up a stone

But You wrote in Your book the plans that You still had for me

You said, “The story’s not over, sin no more, come be free.”

Bridge

You dance a wild dance

You sing and shout it out

Rejoicing over me

Mercy

Verse 3

Is it really forgotten, all my sin before You, Lord?

Are You really rejoicing when I fall back in Your arms?

Do You really enjoy me in my immaturity?

If it’s true then I want You more than anything
