There's no shame in Your presence
There's no fear in Your love
Cause every morning there's a promise
It's the mercy of the Lord
You always meet me in my weakness
You always shine in the night
I've tasted and I've seen it
It's the mercy of the Lord
I saw mercy
Hanging on the cross
I saw mercy
Reaching for the lost
I heard Jesus
Calling out my name
How can I stay the same
I saw mercy face to face
Oh how vast is the ocean
Oh how bright is the sun
There's no end to the measure
Of the mercy of the Lord
Oh I saw mercy
Hanging on the cross
I saw mercy
Reaching for the lost
I heard Jesus
Calling out my name
How can I stay the same
I saw mercy face to face
Bring all your sorrows
Lay all your burdens down
He's more than able
Call upon the Lord
Christ have mercy, mercy
We cannot earn it
Cause' it's a gift from heaven
Reach out receive it
Call upon the Lord
Christ have mercy mercy
I saw You
Hanging on the cross
I saw mercy
Reaching for the lost
I heard Jesus, He was
Calling out my name
How can I stay the same
Everything will change
Cause I saw mercy face to face
