Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I can't count the broken roads I've been down

But all I know

Something had to give

Something had to give


'Cause living my life so wild and free

Finally caught up

Oh it left me broken, left me hopeless

But that's where I met Jesus


And in one moment everything changed

Who I was got washed away

When mercy found me


My Savior's arms were open wide

And I felt love for the very first time

When mercy found me

When mercy found me


All those days and all those doubts

They don't seem to matter now

His grace is all I need

Oh, His grace is all I need


And the chains that I was in before

They don't hold me anymore

His love has rescued me

Oh, His love has set me free


And in one moment everything changed

Who I was got washed away

When mercy found me


My Savior's arms were open wide

And I felt love for the very first time

When mercy found me


My mind found peace

My soul found hope

My heart found a home


And in one moment everything changed

Who I was got washed away

When mercy found me


My Savior's arms were open wide

And I felt love for the very first time

When mercy found me

When mercy found me

When mercy found me


When mercy found me

When mercy found me

When mercy found me
