hymn #11 2025 - reworked (B) (Tenor Session)

[Intro] What are we That the Father's love can touch me so easily? My whole heart yearns for more From the shining light of his love And I'm yearning beyond This fading night [verse] i’m out of words ringing hollow some dead flesh in the bones of a world gone cold every breath a debt unpaid every act a sermon of your grace i’ve worn the sinner but your voice carves deeper than the knife [chorus] i am the thief’s breath stolen a pleading of a drowning man i am the dust that forgot its name all i have is your mercy have mercy on me all i have is your mercy have mercy on me [verse] the weight of the deeds in my hands a crown of thorns reminding me of your acts i’ve kissed the dark and called it home but your love cracks the bedrock of my stone the embers in the ash still whisper your name a requiem sung through the Spirits groaning heart [chorus] i am the thief’s breath stolen a pleading of a drowning man i am the dust that forgot its name all i have is your mercy have mercy on me all i have is your mercy have mercy on me [bridge] you wrote names before the foundations of the earth a beggar with hands full of broken hallelujahs the sky bleeds blackness and the altar shakes but your voice in the tempest is the only light that binds my will together [outro] so let the night unravel i’ll wear its scars like a second skin for in the unraveling the loom of your grace weaves a hymn from my unmade bones all i have is your mercy have mercy on me all i have is your mercy have mercy on me
