I was just a child when I felt the Savior leading |
|
I was drawn to what I could not understand |
|
And for the cause of Christ I have spent my days believing |
|
That what He'd have me be is who I am |
|
As I've come to see the weaker side of me |
|
I realized His grace is what I'll need |
|
When sin demanded justice for my soul |
|
Mercy said no |
|
I'm not going to let you go |
|
I'm not going to let you slip away |
|
You don't have to be afraid |
|
Mercy said no |
|
Sin will never take control |
|
Life and death stood face to face |
|
Darkness tried to steal my heart away |
|
Thank You Jesus, mercy said no |
|
For God so loved the world that He sent His son to save us |
|
From the Cross, He built a bridge to set us free |
|
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages |
|
And makes His sacrifice so hard to see |
|
As midnight fell on Crucifixion Day |
|
The light of hope seemed oh so far away |
|
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow |
|
Mercy said no |
|
I'm not going to let you go |
|
I'm not going to let you slip away |
|
You don't have to be afraid |
|
Mercy said no |
|
Sin will never take control |
|
Life and death stood face to face |
|
Darkness tried to steal my heart away |
|
Thank You Jesus, mercy said no |
|
And now when Heaven looks at me |
|
It's through the blood of Jesus |
|
Reminding me of one day long ago |
|
Mercy said no |
|
I'm not going to let you go |
|
I'm not going to let you slip away |
|
You don't have to be afraid |
|
Mercy said no |
|
Sin will never take control |
|
Life and death stood face to face |
|
Darkness tried to steal my heart away |
|
Thank You Jesus, mercy said no |
|
Mercy said no |
