Intro Jesus, teach my heart to see The mercy You have shown to me Let every judgment fall away And let Your love have its way Verse 1 When somebody stumbles in the darkness Lord, help me reach instead of turn away When somebody carries pain and sorrow Let me be the hands of grace today Jesus, I know I've needed mercy I know I've needed grace So how could I condemn another When You have seen my face? Pre-Chorus Take the stone out of my hand Put compassion where I stand Jesus, make my heart reflect Your love Like Your Father up above Chorus Give me mercy like my Father Let me love the way You love When I could judge, teach me forgiveness When I could close, help me open up Lord Jesus, what I give will come back to me So let forgiveness set me free Give me mercy, give me grace Let Your love shine through this place Verse 2 There are wounds that people never show us There are battles hidden underneath So instead of adding to their burden Let my words bring healing when I speak I've been forgiven freely I've been lifted from the ground So I'll choose to show Christ's compassion When condemnation comes around Chorus Give me mercy like my Father Let me love the way You love When I could judge, teach me forgiveness When I could close, help me open up Lord Jesus, what I give will come back to me So let forgiveness set me free Give me mercy, give me grace Let Your love shine through this place Bridge No more stones, no more blame No more pointing out their shame Jesus, You have covered me with grace So I'll give that grace away Mercy in my hands Mercy in my heart Mercy when we're broken Mercy from the start (Choir / Call & Response) Lead: Teach me mercy!
