Mercy Came Running Lyrics & Chords

By Phillips Craig And Dean

Verse 1

(C)Once there was a (G)holy place

(C)Evidence of (G)God's em(C)brace

And I can almost see (G)mercy's face

(C)Pressed against the (D)veil (C)

Looking down with (G)longing eyes

(C)Mercy must have (G)rea(C)lized

That once His blood was (G)sacrificed

(C)Freedom would pre(D)vail

And as the (C)sky grew dark

And the (G)earth began to shake

With (Bm)justice no (Am)longer (C)in the (D)way



Chorus

Mercy came (G)running

Like a prisoner set (D)free

Past all my (Em)failures

To the (C)point of my (D)need

When the (C)sin that I (G)carried

Was all I could (D)see

And when I (C)could not reach mercy

(Am)Mercy came (D)running to (G)me



Verse 2

Once there was a broken heart

Way too human from the start

And all the years left you torn apart

Hopeless and afraid

Walls I never meant to build

Left this prisoner unfulfilled

Freedom called but even still

It seemed so far away

I was bound by the chains

From the wages of my sin

Just when I felt like giving in



Chorus

Mercy came running

Like a prisoner set free

Past all my failures

To the point of my need

When the sin that I carried

Was all I could see

And when I could not reach mercy

Mercy came running to me



Bridge

(Bb)Sometimes I still feel so (G)far

So far from where I really should (Bb)be

He gently calls to my (D)heart

Just to remind me



Chorus

Mercy came running

Like a prisoner set free

Past all my failures

To the point of my need

When the sin that I carried

Was all I could see

And when I could not reach mercy

Mercy came running
