Verse 1: (Fast, aggressive tempo) I'm telling the truth, no lie, Great sorrow in my heart, can't deny. For my brothers, my kinsmen, I'd be cursed, Set apart from Christ, that's the worst. Pre-Chorus: (Shouted) They're Israelites, with a rich past, Adoption, glory, covenants amassed. But not all are true Israel, can you see? It's through Isaac, God's promise is clear to me. Chorus: (Anthemic, crowd-screamed) GOD'S MERCY AND LOVE, SO SOVEREIGN AND FREE, HE CHOOSES WHO HE WILL, AS HE SEES FIT, YOU SEE. NOT BY OUR WORKS, BUT BY HIS GRACE, HE SHOWS MERCY, IN HIS OWN TIME AND SPACE. Verse 2: (Spoken fast, gritty) God said to Moses, "I'll have mercy, On whom I please, that's the decree." It's not by our will, or our running, But by God's mercy, that's the shunning. Bridge: (Distorted guitar solo, then shouted) So let's give thanks to God, for His mercy and love, He calls us His people, from the depths above. Whether Jew or Gentile, we're all in His plan, To show His glory, and make His name known, amen. Chorus: (Repeat chorus, double the fury) GOD'S MERCY AND LOVE, SO SOVEREIGN AND FREE, HE CHOOSES WHO HE WILL, AS HE SEES FIT, YOU SEE. NOT BY OUR WORKS, BUT BY HIS GRACE, HE SHOWS MERCY, IN HIS OWN TIME AND SPACE. Outro: (Final chorus, then slammed chords) He calls us His people, from the depths above, Whether Jew or Gentile, we're all in His plan, To show His glory, and make His name known, amen. (Punk-rock melody fade-out with intense energy)
