Mercy Rewrote My Name

[R Kelly, DJ Khalid vibes] [Intro soaring Gospel, guitar and piano] [Verse 1 – Soulful Vocal (Jamie Fox style)] I see the weight of my guilt on His shoulders Crown of thorns, yet He carried it with love Every lash, every nail was my sentence Still He opened His arms, not holding a grudge [Chorus ] Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe Cause we owed a debt we couldn’t pay Love stretched wide with arms aglow He died, but He rose up from the grave! Oh-oh, then mercy rewrote my name [Verse 2 – Slight rap/poetry cadence, deep voice, Kanye/Spoken word fusion] They thought it ended on a tree, But that was just the receipt. The cost? Eternal. The payment? Complete. This Grace don’t come cheap, But it came for me. Now I walk in the light Cause He died in my night. [Chorus ] Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe Cause we owed a debt we couldn’t pay Love stretched wide with arms aglow He died, but He rose up from the grave! Oh-oh, mercy rewrote my name [Bridge][harmonies] Blood bought my freedom, yeah Truth in the wound, love was bleeding Cross on His back, but I was the reason Still He chose to stay… when He could’ve walked away [Pre Chorus] Now I live, not condemned but forgiven My ransom was wrapped in a tomb But the stone rolled away My Savior made room [Chorus – seeing a cappella] Jesus paid a debt He didn’t owe Cause we owed a debt we couldn’t pay Love stretched wide with arms aglow He died, but He rose up from the grave! Oh-oh, mercy rewrote my name [Outro – Minimalist Piano + Fading] “Paid in full…” “Paid in full…”
