Mercies New

Is it fair to say, ?I was lured away??

By endless distractions and lovelier attractions then

Or fairer still, my own free will

Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess I've made again

So I would understand

You were out of patience

And I would understand

I was out of chances

Your mercies are new every morning

So let me wake with the dawn

When the music is through or so it seems to be

Then let me sing a new song, old things gone

Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new

The distance left between East and West

Is how far You would go to forget the debt I'd owe

And thrown into the sea, the wicked ways in me

Will never have a chance to wash back on the sand

So I would understand

If You would make me pay

I would understand

Lying in the bed I made again

Your mercies are new every morning

So let me wake with the dawn

When the music is through or so it seems to be

Let me sing a new song, old things gone

Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new

Up comes the sun

On every one of us

Gone, gone, gone the

Guilt and shame that knew Your name

Your mercies are new every morning

So let me wake with the dawn yeah

When the music is through or so it seems to be

Let me sing a new song, old things gone

Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new

Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new
