[English]

Mercy mercy

Bring me to my knees

...

As the morning

Calls to light the dark in me

...

Heaven's story

Breathing life into my bones

Spirit lift me

From this wasteland, lead me home

...

Now I

Find my life in Yours

My eyes

On Your name

...

Arrest my heart

From its reckless path

Release the chains in me

Awake my soul

To the hope You hold

Your grace is all I need

...

Humble glory

Chose to carry all my shame

...

Rendered worthy

In the shadow of Your Name

...

Gracious fury

Written in my Savior's scars

...

Mercy mercy

Now engraved upon my heart

...

Now I

Find my life in Yours

My eyes

On Your name

Arrest my heart

From its reckless path

Release the chains in me

Awake my soul

To the hope You hold

Your grace is all I need

Arrest my heart

From its reckless path

Release the chains in me

Awake my soul

To the hope You hold

Your grace is all I need

...

Mercy mercy

Bring me to my knees

...

As the morning

Calls to light the dark in me

...
