Mystery Of Mercy

I am the woman at the well, I am the harlot

I am the scattered seed that fell along the path

I am the son who ran away

I am the bitter son who stayed

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

You took my sin and wrapped me in

Your robe and your ring

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

It’s a mystery of mercy

And the song I sing

I am the angry men who came to stone the lover

I am the woman there ashamed before the crowd

I am the leper who gave thanks

I am the nine who never came

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

You took my sin and wrapped me in

Your robe and your ring

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

It’s a mystery of mercy

And the song I sing

You are the bringer of the moon and all the seasons

You are the singer of the tune that calls the stars

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

You took my sin and wrapped me in

Your robe and your ring

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

When all my love was vinegar

To a thirsty king

My God, my God

Why hast thou accepted me

It’s a mystery of mercy

And the song I sing
