Cry Mercy

I've never seen the sky so black
As the day we crucified Him
The dark clouds hung low
Over the hill called Calvary
Distracted from their scorn
Oh, the crowd grew silent
I heard Him cry "It’s finished"
When something broke in me
They say the veil in the temple was torn
But my eyes beheld Jesus Christ the Lord

Now I'm falling on my knees
And I cry mercy
I'm needing Your forgiveness for my sin
Now I’m falling on my knees
And I cry mercy, mercy
Wash me with Your blood and take me in
Lord, have mercy

Ooh, I cry mercy, oh...
(Mercy)

They broke into the chambers
Of my shame and my confusion
Angry men said for my sin I must die
And shaking their fists in the name of religion
I stood condemned until Jesus walked by
Like a light that's cutting through the dark
(Through the darkness)
He broke the walls of judgment around my heart

Now I'm falling on my knees
And I cry mercy
I'm needing Your forgiveness for my sin
Now I'm falling on my knees
And I cry mercy, mercy
Wash me wait Your blood and take me in
Lord, have mercy

(Oh-oh, have mercy)

Cover me with Your mercy
(Cover me with mercy)
The gentle rain of Your mercy
(With your mercy)
Let it fall
(Oh, let it fall)
On the ground, all around, oh-oh...

I'm falling on my knees
And I cry mercy
I'm needing Your forgiveness for my sin
(Needing Your forgiveness)
Oh, I'm falling on my knees
And I cry mercy, mercy
Wash me with Your blood and take me in
Lord, have mercy

(Lord, have mercy)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, mercy
