Grace And Mercy
VaShawn Mitchell's song, performed by the Mississippi Mass Choir, is a gospel declaration of gratitude for God's sustaining grace and mercy. The lyrics recount personal struggles, including illness and hardship, and testify that it was only by God's grace that the singer persevered and was healed. The repeated chorus emphasizes that grace and mercy have brought the singer this far and will continue to lead onward. The song reflects a theme of reliance on divine favor through life's difficulties, without quoting specific Scripture but resonating with biblical concepts of grace and healing.
[Chorus:]
God's grace and mercy brought me this far
It's by His grace I'm goin all the way
This road has not been easy
He never said it would be
It was grace that kept me
And His grace that never left me
[Chorus]
I was so sick thought I wouldn't get well
He healed my body, gave me a story to tell
Because of His grace and mercy
I am here today
[Chorus]
God's grace...
Mercy...
