It's a blue sky morning
It's a new day dawning
It's a million miles from
A past that's haunted you forever
It's a prayer that's answered
It's a second chance for
A life you never ever even dreamed
That you could live

That's what mercy is
It's the hand that reaches down
And lifts you up again
No matter where you've been
That's what mercy is
It's the voice that's calling out
Come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find
That you're brand new
That's what mercy is

It's the word forgiven
Shouted straight from heaven
To a heart that's broken
From the only one who'll make it whole again
It's a song of freedom
Sung for all who'll listen
There's a door wide open
Saying all you weary souls come right on in
That's what mercy is
It's the hand that reaches down
And lifts you up again
No matter where you've been
That's what mercy is
It's the voice that's calling out
Come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find
That you're brand new
That's what mercy is

It's a cross, it's a grave
It's a stone that's rolled away
It's three nails that held the price
For all our sin
It's a Father, it's a Son
Knowing something must be done
It's the greatest gift of love that's ever been
That's what mercy is

Oh, that's what's mercy is, yeah
Oh, that's what's mercy is
Yeah, that's what's mercy is
That's what's mercy is
Yeah, that's what's mercy is
It's the hand that reaches down
And lifts you up again
No matter where you've been
Yeah, that's what mercy is
It's the voice that's calling out
Come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find
That you're brand new
It's a love that God poured out
For me and you
That's what mercy is
That's what mercy is
