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
verse 2
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
Bridge 1
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
Bridge 2
Oh, that?s what mercy is, yes, that?s what mercy is
Yeah, that?s what mercy is, that?s mercy is, that?s what mercy is
It?s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again,
No matter where you?ve been
Yeah, 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,
With the love that God poured out for me and you,
