Let me tell you about mercy
It led me to this land of grace
Once I was homeless
Ashamed to show my face
I deserved no gift or favor
After all that I had done
You've all heard my story
I am the prodigal son

And He wasn't surprised
At where I had been
He was waiting for me
At the end of my sin
And the heaven I found
In the hell I was in
That's where his mercy
That's where His mercy begins

Let me share an invitation
Come join me in this land of rest
Where we trade our failures
And gain the Father’s best
Let us turn to Him together
Leaving all our fears behind
The Father knows your story
It's mercy you'll find
And He wasn't surprised
At where I had been
He was waiting for me
At the end of my sin
And the heaven I found
In the hell I was in
That's where his mercy
That's where His mercy begins

I had run so far from Him
That all my hope was dying
But when I finally turned for home
His mercy came and showed the way

And He's never surprised
At where we have been
He is waiting for us
At the end of our sins
And the heaven we find
From the hell we’ve been in
That’s where his mercy
That’s where his mercy begins

Oh, that's where his mercy
That’s where His mercy begins
Sweet mercy
Thank You, thank You for mercy
Your sweet mercy, sweet mercy
