(Verse 1)
You didn't have to do
What You did this morning
When You woke me up right on time
You didn't have to do it
But You did
Opened these old eyes of mine
Once again I thank You for sparing me one more
day
Through all of Your many blessings
All I can say, if it wasn't for Your mercy
(Background)
If it wasn't for Your mercy and Your grace
I would fail

(Verse 2)
Tell me can you remember
How many times you've been on your sick bed
Doctor said nothing else we can do
Turned away and shook his head
But oh grace and mercy stepped in right on timе
Commanded death to take his hands off this child of Minе
How many of you can say right now
If it wasn't for Your mercy

(Repeat background)
(Chorus)

Oh for Your mercy and Your grace
Forever faithful from day to day
Oh for your mercy and Your grace
I could not run this race
But You loved me and You cared
You promised You'd be there
Oh for Your mercy and Your grace
I would fail
