River of Mercy

River of Mercy

[Verse 1]

I came in tired

Dust on my shoes

Hands full of worry

And a heart split in two

You saw me standin'

At the edge of the floor

(You saw me)

You said, "Come on in

You can carry no more"

[Pre-Chorus]

And I felt it moving

Deep in my bones

Like a black night breaking

Like a stone rolling home

I heard my name

In the dead of the ache

I was half gone

When You made me awake

[Chorus]

River of mercy

Carry me through

River of mercy

I belong to You

Wash these tears

Wash me clean

River of mercy

Run through me

[Verse 2]

My room was silent

My jaw was set

I was counting all my ruins

Like a debt I kept

But You came gentle

With thunder in Your hand

(Thunder in Your hand)

You pulled me from the water

Put my feet on land

[Pre-Chorus]

And I felt it moving

Deep in my bones

Like a black night breaking

Like a stone rolling home

I heard my name

In the dead of the ache

I was half gone

When You made me awake

[Chorus]

River of mercy

Carry me through

River of mercy

I belong to You

Wash these tears

Wash me clean

River of mercy

Run through me

[Bridge]

Let the old chain fall

Let the ash turn gold

Let the bitter parts of me

Be made whole

I will lift my hands

In the storm, in the fire

(I lift my hands)

You are the song

And You are the fire

[Chorus]

River of mercy

Carry me through

River of mercy

I belong to You

Wash these tears

Wash me clean

River of mercy

Run through me
