First Church of Mercy

V1

He saw the ones around him move when he sat down

As the music softly played Amazing Grace

Last night's fall off the wagon had left bruises on his face

When he felt a hand on his shoulder

He thought he'd hear, "Come back when you're sober"

But a friendly voice said, "We're glad you're here"

Welcome to the first church of mercy

Where the doors of love swing open wide

And no matter who you are, no matter what you've done

You can come inside

Welcome to the altar of forgiveness

Where the fallen can fall, and tears are wiped away

Welcome to the first church of mercy

Take a seat on the front row of grace

V2

You don't have to have it all together here

There's a lot of us who've been right where you are

We all came in here hurtin', broken, bruised, and scarred

And then the Father reached us

With the healing hand of Jesus

And made us a part of this great family

We're not here to judge you, you can find that anywhere

We're just called to love you, so welcome here, welcome here, welcome here...
