MERCY CAME RUNNIN'
C G C G C
ONCE THERE WAS A HOLY PLACE EVIDENCE OF GOD'S EMBRACE
G C D C
I CAN ALMOST SEE MERCY'S FACE PRESSED AGAINST THE VEIL
G C G C
LOOKING DOWN WITH LONGING EYES MERCY MUST HAVE REALIZED
G C D
ONCE HIS BLOOD WAS SACRIFICED FREEDOM WOULD PREVAIL
C G
AND AS THE SKY GREW DARK AND THE EARTH BEGAN TO SHAKE
Bm Am C D
WITH JUSTICE NO LONGER IN THE WAY
CHORUS
G C D
MERCY CAME A RUNNIN' LIKE A PRIS'NER SET FREE
C G C D
PAST ALL MY FAILURES TO THE POINT OF MY NEED
C G C D
WHEN THE SIN THAT I CARRIED WAS ALL I COULD SEE
C
AND WHEN I COULD NOT REACH MERCY
Am D G D
MERCY CAME A RUNNIN' TO ME
C G C G C
ONCE THERE WAS A BROKEN HEART WAY TO HUMAN FROM THE START
G C D C
ALL THE YEARS LEFT IT TORN APART HOPELESS AND AFRAID
G C G C
WALLS I NEVER MEANT TO BUILD LEFT THIS PRIS'NER UNFULLFILLED
G C D
FREEDOM CALLED BUT EVEN STILL IT SEEMED SO FAR AWAY
C G
I WAS BOUND BY THE CHAINS OF THE WAGES OF MY SIN
Bm Am C D
JUST WHEN I FELT LIKE GIVIN IN
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Bb C G
SOMETIMES I STILL FEEL SO FAR- Bb
SO FAR FROM WHERE I REALLY SHOULD BE
C D
HE GENTLY CALLS TO MY HEART-JUST TO REMIND ME CHORUS(3X)
