Mercy

You won't bear down the back of the broken
You won’t turn away those who have thirst
You won't bind up with cords of religion
There's mercy

You won’t put out the flickering candle
You won't crush down the weakest reed
You won't turn away orphans or widows
There's mercy

Your light shatters the darkness
Your love reaches for me
Tender mercies that bind up the broken
The Savior that sin never saw coming

You won't abandon the sheep who have fallen
You won't leave us, the Helper has come
You won't leave us to sin's condemnation
There’s mercy

You’re not deaf to the groans of the weary
You'll keep us, the future is sure
You won’t leave us to tremble with worry
There's mercy

Your light shatters the darkness
Your love reaches for me
Tender mercies that bind up the broken
The Savior that sin never saw coming

That is why I love you
That is why I run to you
That is why I love you
That is why I run to you
That is why I love you
('Cause you are the hope of the world)
That is why I run to you
(And you open the eyes of the blind)
That is why I love you
('Cause you are the light of the world)
That is why I run to you (Oh, Jesus)

Your light shatters the darkness
Your love reaches for me
Tender mercies that bind up the broken
The Savior that sin never saw coming

Your light shatters the darkness
Your love reaches for me
Tender mercies that bind up the broken
The Savior that sin never saw coming
Mercy my sin never saw coming
