I couldn't find myself today
i got lost in my reflection
retracing stepsall along the way
back to days with no direction
i wasn't wishing for those times to come again
no it was more of a reminder
of where and what and how i'd been
living my life without connection
who knew my heart and my intentions
he said that all could be forgiven
if i could trust in one who'd risen
and that's when his mercy came to me
(chorus)
i was saved by the mercy man
he touched my heart
he helped me understand
that there was shelter in unfailing love
if i'd just take the hand
hand of the mercy man
(verse 2)
all these expectations
that i'd placed upon myself
how i would conquer the giants
with the help of no one else
but i was wrong - i was mistaken
what i thought was the truth
was not the truth at all
and that's when i heard mercy call
(chorus x2)
But i was wrong - i was mistaken
what i thought was the truth
was not the truth at all
(chorus x2)
He took my hand
holds my heart
the mercy man
