Mercy is a song, singing to my heart
Telling me it's ok, come just as you are
I never heard a melody, like the one they're singing over me
And I just wanna sing along, 'cause mercy is a song
Freedom is a choir, swaying back and forth
Shining in the shadow of a stain glassed Sunday morning
Shouting hallelujah, yesterday is gone
Oh, freedom is a choir and mercy is a song
Singing oh oh oh uh uh, there is a life for every soul
No matter where you've been just come on home
Let all God's children sing along
Hallelujah, chains are gone
Mercy is a song
Guilty is a lie, spoken by a thief
Saying after what you've done, you don't deserve to be free
But I can look him in the eye, and say this time you're wrong
'Cause guilty is a lie, oh but mercy is a song
Singing oh oh oh uh uh, there is a life for every soul
No matter where you've been just come on home
Let all God's children sing along
Hallelujah, chains are gone
Mercy is a song
A song of the redeemed
The ones set free
A glimpse of what waits for you and me
Heaven is a mansion, a promise in the sky
That one day we will be singing with those angels up on high
That old familiar melody, like we've known it all along
Oh, heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song
Heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song
Oh tell me, can you hear it?
Singing oh oh oh uh uh, there is a life for every soul
(There is a life for every soul)
No matter where you've been just come along
(No matter where you've been, where you've been)
Let all God's children sing along (sing along)
Hallelujah, chains are gone
Let all God's children sing along (sing along)
Hallelujah, chains are gone
Mercy is a song (oh oh oh uh uh)
Mercy is a song (oh oh oh uh uh)
Mercy is a song (oh oh oh uh uh)
