All Because Of Mercy

I could stand here
And try to tell you
I found my way here on my own
Brought to life this heart of stone
Made up my own mind
To change my own life
Working my own way to good
As if anybody could

But the truth is I’ve been broken since my very first breath
And the truth is I’ve been wandering since my very first step

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy
There’s no way that I could earn it
Praise God my debt is paid
It’s not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

I still remember
The day He found me
6 feet under all my shame
I heard Him call me out by name
Hallelujah
The cross has spoken
Jesus my Savior bled and died
To bring this deadman back to life

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy
There’s no way that I could earn it
Praise God my debt is paid
It’s not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Just as desperate for you now
As I was back then
If I ever should forget
Remind me once again
Just as desperate for you now
As I was back then
If I ever should forget
Remind me once again
Once again

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy
There’s no way that I could earn it
Praise God my debt is paid
It’s not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
It’s not because I’m worthy
It’s all because of mercy
Hallelujah
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
It’s all because of mercy
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
