Mercy

Mercy I’m lost in the midst of this storm Can some body come save me from what I’ve become I’m lost at sea, shipwrecked upon this lonely isle Does anybody here my voice, is there one who can calm these waves that just keep on rising I’ve made so many mistakes in this life I done so many wrong things More pain than can be written In these simple lines or words that I speak So many hearts I’ve broken So much pain I’ve caused I guess now what I’m hoping for Is a new start, the chance to erase it all I once heard of a story of a man who could calm the waves He didn’t fear the sea, but the tide shrieked at His name He came to those who were lost, to those who were sick He showed them the way and He healed with His gift The story has a bittersweet ending though, one you couldn’t expect This great Man who was pure and holy, righteous and perfect Gave his life that we might be saved, lost all that we might live The story says in His sacrifice we have life, in His wounds is forgiveness In His blood we are washed, and in His death mercy lived. Well they say that this man rose from the ground and departed to the sky above But not before promising one last gift The Spirit of true love I think I’m starting to see what I once thought was a story is actually so much more It’s a tale to end all tales, the greatest story ever told About the God, King, Savior who willingly endured a sinner’s hell That we might live and be made well even in the midst of great darkness His light prevailed I guess what I’m saying is I believe Believe that I don’t have to be ship wrecked or lost at sea Don’t have to be alone, unloved, unheard, or devoid of peace I believe that all I have to do is have faith in the great power and love of the King I believe in Your Mercy, and know that it has found me My past no longer bind me, I am free.
