G              Bm                C                  G
I was hollow and closed, in the morning I could not see
G              Bm                C             G
Your beloved goodness reigned itself out on me
G         Bm               C            G
I raged against you like a river on a stone
G                  Bm        C           G
But against that tidal wave, I am overthrown
 
G Em   C   G
Mercy, mercy
G Em   C   G

G                 Bm              C             G
I was lost in the worldly and uh leanin' on myself
G             Bm                   C            G
I played that religion card, I put Jesus on a shelf
G           Bm              C               G
Born into darkness, I kept putting off the grace
G               Bm       C               G
Thinking my own goodness could get me in heaven's gates

G            Bm                 C              G
I beg you to come and take away all my ancient fears
G             Bm             C              G
This bloodied history we all cling on to so dear
G          Bm       C           G
All around me was a blinded fantasy
G           Bm         C        G
Truth in the mirror of foul vanity
 
G Em   C   G
Mercy, mercy
G Em   C   G

G             Bm          C               G
You walk upon heaven, you walked upon the earth
G                    Bm             C            G
You brought n bought salvation, for me, a second birth
G           Bm          C          G
You took my broken cross up to Calvary
G            Bm                   C             G
You sang my redemption song while hanging on my tree
 
G Em   C   G
