[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
Am                  G         C
 Once there was a holy place. Evidence of God’s embrace.
Am                  G         C
I can almost see mercy’s face, pressed against the veil.
Am                  G         C
Looking down with longing eyes, mercy must have realized.
Am                  G         C
Once His blood was sacrificed freedom would prevail.
            C                       G
And as the sky grew dark, and the earth began to shake.
       D               C  G/B   Am7
With justice no longer in the way!
 
 
[Chorus]
             G                       Em  D
Mercy came a runnin' like a pris’ner set free.
             G/B              C          D
Past all my failures, to the point of my need.
                     G                 Em    D
When the sin that I carried, was all I could see.
           C                     G/B
And when I could not reach mercy,
Am           D          G
Mercy came a runnin’ to me.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                 G            C
 Once there was a broken heart. Way too human from the start.
Am                      G          C
All the years left it torn apart, hopeless and afraid.
Am              G             C
Walls I never meant to build, left this pris’ner unfulfilled
Am                 G             C
Freedom called but even still, it seemed so far away.
      C                             G
I was bound by the chains, from the wages of my sin!
D                       C  G/B  Am7
Just when I felt like givin’ in!
 
 
[Chorus]
             G                       Em  D
Mercy came a runnin' like a pris’ner set free.
             G/B              C          D
Past all my failures, to the point of my need.
                     G                 Em    D
When the sin that I carried, was all I could see.
           C                      G/B
And when I could not reach mercy,
Am           D          G
Mercy came a runnin’ to me.
 
 
[Bridge]
Eb                          G
  Sometimes I still feel so far!
 
So far from where I really should be.
Eb        Cm7        Dsus4             D
He gently calls to my heart! Just to remind me!
