Verse 1 A crowded room, a broken man Lowered down by faithful hands Jesus sees the deeper wound Speaks a word that shakes the room “Rise and walk,” the silence breaks Mercy moves and fear awakes The paralyzed begins to stand Grace unfolding in the land Pre‑Chorus Every step He takes The kingdom starts to breathe Every word He speaks Sets another captive free Chorus Mercy in motion Moving through the streets again Healing every shattered heart Calling lost and wounded men Power in His footsteps Compassion in His eyes Mercy in motion Where the broken rise Verse 2 Matthew rises from his place Leaves his ledger for His grace Sinners gather at the feast Loved by heaven’s gentle priest Pharisees begin to sneer “Why is He with sinners here?” Jesus answers calm and clear “The sick are why I’m standing here” Pre‑Chorus Every step He takes The kingdom starts to breathe Every word He speaks Sets another captive free Chorus Mercy in motion Moving through the streets again Healing every shattered heart Calling lost and wounded men Power in His footsteps Compassion in His eyes Mercy in motion Where the broken rise Verse 3 A father pleads, “My daughter’s gone” But Jesus walks and brings her dawn A woman trembling in the crowd Touches Him without a sound Twelve long years of hidden pain He turns and calls her “whole again” Two miracles in one brief stride Life and healing side by side Pre‑Chorus Every step He takes The kingdom starts to breathe Every word He speaks Sets another captive free Chorus Mercy in motion Moving through the streets again Healing every shattered heart Calling lost and wounded men Power in His footsteps Compassion in His eyes Mercy in motion Where the broken rise Bridge Blind eyes open, demons flee Crowds are crushed with misery Jesus sees them, heart undone Like sheep without a shepherd’s love “The harvest waits,” He starts to say “Pray for workers in the fray” A kingdom rising in the dust A call to move, a call to trust Final Chorus Mercy in motion Flowing like a holy flame Healing every shattered heart Calling every soul by name Power in His footsteps Compassion in His eyes Mercy in motion Where the broken rise
