Mercy rewrote my life
I could have fallen
My soul cast down
But mercy rewrote my life
For years I travelled this road all wrong
My heart had lost its joy and song
But grace place me right placed me where i belong
But mercy rewrote my life
My mistakes God turned to miracles
And my tears He turned into joy
My past was forgiven, my new name it was written
When mercy rewrote my life
Mercy rewrote my life
Mercy rewrote my life
I could have fallen
My soul cast down
But mercy rewrote my life
