Francesca Battistelli's "Motion of Mercy" is a contemporary Christian song about receiving God's mercy and being transformed by it. The lyrics describe a personal journey from spiritual poverty and emptiness to being filled by God's love, which then compels the believer to show compassion and give themselves away to others. The song emphasizes living for the lost, loving sacrificially, and reflecting the Kingdom of God. It highlights the idea that mercy is not just something we receive but also something we are moved to extend to others, echoing the biblical call to love as we have been loved.

I was poor I was weak
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of help
I was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave yourself away�?�
[Chorus]
That�??s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That�??s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Now I�??m filled by a love
That calls me to action
I was empty before now I�??m drawn to compassion
And to give myself away
[Chorus]
That�??s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That�??s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Living for the lost
Loving �??til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That�??s the motion of mercy
God give me strength to give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of the Kingdom that�??s coming soon
[Chorus]
That�??s the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That�??s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Living for the lost
Loving �??til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That�??s the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
To give yourself away
To give it all away
That�??s the motion of mercy
