The Verdict was in, all the evidence weighed
The finger of justice had declared I must pay
But I the defendant could not make my case
So he put his blood on it and all was erased

(CHORUS)

He had..
Mercy
Pure Mercy
On a prisoner condemned to die
He had..
Mercy
Pure Mercy
I had no pardon in sight then Jesus passed by
He had Mercy on a sinner such as I

I've been apprehended, I was in custody
The whole world was wondering what would God do with me?
And all my accusers were standing in line
But he ordered them stand back, this one is mine
I am so glad I'm saved. Glad to be sanctified
I'm glad I'm blood covered doing heavenly time
There's one thing for certain, I'm even more glad I know. That when God goes out walking , he goes down on death row

(CHORUS X 2)
He had..
Mercy
Pure Mercy
On a prisoner condemned to die
He had..
Mercy
Pure Mercy
I had no pardon in sight then Jesus passed by
He had Mercy on a sinner such as I
