"Mercy" lyrics
Trip Lee & Kirk Franklin Lyrics
Yeah, I dedicate this song to those that miss being dedicated
The world robbed you of your spiritual romance and you want to renew your vows
Jesus waits at the altar for you
He's not wearing a watch, so you still have time
Heavy heart at the start of the day light
In the sun or the rain, you will still shine
Wipe my eyes when I cry be my delight
When in doubt, then I realize
In the dark there you are
You're still good, You're still good
Life gets hard falls apart
You're still good, You're still good
I been shooting for the stars (shoot)
Just tryna be where You are
It don't matter what it cost (shoot)
I would rather lose it all
I been shooting for the stars (shoot)
Just tryna be where You are
It don't matter what it cost (shoot)
I would rather lose it all
Your mercy endureth forever and ever and ever
Your mercy endureth forever and ever and ever
My life hit me, knocked me down you know I'm dizzy
Tried to sit me down in misery permanently
Sent me pain to keep me busy, I just juke like, "you can't get me"
I get down like "can He hear me?" Can you feel me?
I know I be dodging arrows
I can't conquer pharaohs
But He got His eye on sparrows
I can't roam, it's like I'm always home
Even in lion dens with friends I win, I'm not alone
I been shooting for the stars (shoot)
Just tryna be where You are
It don't matter what it cost (shoot)
I would rather lose it all
I been shooting for the stars (shoot)
Just tryna be where You are
It don't matter what it cost (shoot)
I would rather lose it all
Your mercy endureth forever and ever and ever
Your mercy endureth forever and ever and ever
I sit back and oh I think, I'm so dirty, I know I stank
I need mercy, I know I rank beneath Him help me please Him, Spirit
Still I know He takes delight in me I'm wrong, He made me right
Remade me, saved me, gave me light
I need him, I can't leave him, hear it
I know I can't dive in shallow
Waters, help me follow
Your grace away from gallows
Watch me shoot my shot for the stars all I got
Is these promises from my Lord that's my lot
I been shooting for the stars (shoot)
Just tryna be where You are
It don't matter what it cost (shoot)
I would rather lose it all
I been shooting for the stars (shoot)
Just tryna be where You are
It don't matter what it cost (shoot)
I would rather lose it all
We'll sing forever
We'll sing forever
We'll sing forever
We'll sing forever
Your mercy endureth forever and ever and ever
Your mercy endureth forever and ever and ever
That restlessness in your heart is because Heaven is calling
Yeah, yeah you feel it, we're strangers and aliens
Don't get too comfortable, don't get too fitted here
You're different, you're chosen, you're special, you're His
And He's jealous for you. He's desperate for you
He wants you to understand there's something greater than in you
And it's coming, put Him first, seek Him first
That's your life, it's not just what you believe
It's who you are. You were destined for this, destined for Him
Hallelujah
The world robbed you of your spiritual romance and you want to renew your vows
