VERSE 1:
God could’ve said “I’m done with you”
Cuz I was guilty, there’s no doubt
He could’ve slammed the gavel down
Slammed the door and shut me out
But that’s not what He’s about
CHORUS:
He moves like mercy
He enters with grace
Puts pieces back together
I’ve lost along the way
He could push me further down
Instead, He picks me up
‘Cuz He moves like mercy
He moves with love
VERSE 2:
Sometimes my fists are full of stones
One for each of my regrets
When I want to throw them at myself
He takes my hands in His
And empties them instead
CHORUS:
He moves like mercy
He enters with grace
Puts pieces back together
I’ve lost along the way
He could push me further down
Instead, He picks me up
‘Cuz He moves like mercy
He moves with love
BRIDGE:
Oh, He carried my cross
Oh, He buried my shame
Oh, He covered my debt
When He could have walked away
Oh, He could have walked away, but
CHORUS:
He moves like mercy
He doesn’t push me further down
Instead, He picks me up
He moves like mercy
He moves like mercy
Oh, He moves like mercy
He moves with love
