From the recording The Journey Home
Lyrics
Beneath the weight of midnight, I stumbled to my knees
Haunted by failures I could not outrun
Lost in the silence, afraid to be seen
Longing for mercy, but sure it would never come
But in the stillness, I heard a whisper
A promise breaking through the night
Love unrelenting, hope like a river
Grace was reaching for my life
Mercy came running, when my strength was almost gone
Breaking through darkness, with a voice that called me home
Mending the wounds that I carried so long
Welcoming me with a love that makes me strong
Mercy came running
I knelt at the altar, my heart open wide
Tears on the pages of stories I’d hide
But mercy found me, right where I fell
Lifted my burdens and shattered the lies
Now in the light, I see redemption
A future rising from the pain
Love without measure, endless compassion
Grace that calls me by my name
Mercy came running, when my strength was almost gone
Breaking through darkness, with a voice that called me home
Mending the wounds that I carried so long
Welcoming me with a love that makes me strong
Mercy came running
No wall too high, no distance too far
Mercy will find you, wherever you are
With arms wide open, it covers my scars
Mercy came running, straight into my heart
Mercy came running, when my strength was almost gone
Breaking through darkness, with a voice that called me home
Mending the wounds that I carried so long
Welcoming me with a love that makes me strong
Mercy came running
