That's What Mercy Is

It’s a blue sky morning

It’s a new day dawning

It’s a million miles from a past that’s haunted you forever

It’s a prayer that’s answered

It’s a second chance for

A life you never ever even dreamed that you could live

That’s what mercy is

It’s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again

No matter where you’ve been

That’s what mercy is

It’s the voice that’s calling out come back home again

You can come back home again

Picture waking up to find that you’re brand new

That’s what mercy is

It’s the word forgiven

Shouted straight from heaven

To a heart that’s broken

From the only one who’ll make it whole again

It’s a song of freedom

Sung for all who’ll listen

There’s a door wide open

Saying all you weary souls come right on in

That’s what mercy is

It’s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again

No matter where you’ve been

That’s what mercy is

It’s the voice that’s calling out come back home again

You can come back home again

Picture waking up to find that you’re brand new

That’s what mercy is

It’s a cross, it’s a grave, it’s a stone that’s rolled away

It’s three nails that held the price for all our sin

It’s a Father, it’s a Son, knowing something must be done

It’s the greatest gift of love that’s ever been

That’s what mercy is
