(mer-cy... mer-cy)
He drew me up out of the water, and He carries me along

I went down in the deep, in the cold and the dark,
He reached from the heavens, laid His hand on my heart —
My rock and my fortress, my deliverer strong,
His gentleness made me great — so I sing this song

Mercy — He shows Himself merciful
to the merciful, so give it away
Mercy — what you're givin', He gives back to you
so go and call on His name today

Whatever hurt is holdin' you, lay it down at His feet,
forgive the one who wronged you — loose the debt, let it leave.
To the pure He is pure, to the crooked, crooked ground —
He saves the afflicted people, brings the high looks down

Mercy — He shows Himself merciful
to the merciful, so give it away
Mercy — what you're givin', He gives back to you
so go and call on His name today

mercy... mercy... on His name again
(mer-cy... mer-cy... He is merciful)
