Mercy Meets Me There

V5.5

[Verse 1] You called me from the road I chose, When pride had closed my eyes; You did not turn Your face away, You offered me new life. Through every voice that spoke Your truth, You showed the path back home; Your patience waited at the door, So I would not walk alone. [Pre-Chorus] I hear You, and I will not hide; I lay my guilt before Your eyes. [Chorus] I return with all my heart, Wash these hands and make me new. You would rather see me live Than be lost in what I do. Faithful Father, hear my prayer, Teach my feet the faithful way. When I turn and seek Your face, Mercy meets me there today. [Verse 2] You sent a warning, not to wound, But wake the sleeping soul; You named the harm, then gave a road That leads to being whole. No pleasure waits in anyone Who fades beneath their shame; You call the wandering back to breathe, And rise beneath Your name. [Pre-Chorus] I hear You, and I will not hide; I leave the old road far behind. [Chorus] I return with all my heart, Wash these hands and make me new. You would rather see me live Than be lost in what I do. Faithful Father, hear my prayer, Teach my feet the faithful way. When I turn and seek Your face, Mercy meets me there today. [Bridge] Not anger without end, But loyalty that calls again; Not a door forever closed, But a way for me to grow. Let every false desire depart, Plant a clean and willing heart. Your correction is a light, Your compassion gives me life. [Final Chorus] I return with all my heart, Wash these hands and make me new. You would rather see me live Than be lost in what I do. Faithful Father, hear my prayer, Teach my feet the faithful way. When I turn and seek Your face, Mercy meets me there today. [Outro] I will turn, and I will live; All I have, to You I give. I will turn, and I will live; Thank You for the life You give.
