Mercy's Arms

The mighty fortress walls I have built around my foolish heart How they crumble and they fall As I surrender all To mercy's arms Bathed in holy rain Cleansed from sinner's bitter stains Only love remains And I'm forever changed By mercy's arms Sweet the surrender Sweet the embrace Sweet the forgiveness To one forever undeserving of his grace Safely encircled Rested and warmed Sweet is the taste Of love that awaits in mercy's arms In the light, the life, the way Is the key unlocking every chain Sin is lost and freedom gained The price was paid By mercy's arms Sweet the surrender Sweet the embrace Sweet the forgiveness To one forever undeserving of his grace Safely encircled Rested and warmed Sweet is the taste Of love that awaits in mercy's arms When I reach my journey's end How I hope that He will call me friend And reach out for me again Forever spend In mercy's arms
