Mercy is a song, singing to my heart Telling me it's ok, come just as you are I never heard a melody, like the one they're singing over me And I just wanna sing along, 'cause mercy is a song Freedom is a choir, swaying back and forth Shining in the shadow of a stain glassed Sunday morning Shouting hallelujah, yesterday is gone Oh freedom is a choir and mercy is a song Singing ohhhhh, there is a light for every soul No matter where you've been just come on home Let all God's children sing along Hallelujah chains are gone Mercy is a song Guilty is a lie, spoken by a thief Saying after what you've done, you don't deserve to be free But I can look him in the eye, and say this time you're wrong 'Cause guilty is a lie, oh but mercy is a song Singing ohhhhh, there is a light for every soul No matter where you've been just come on home Let all God's children sing along Hallelujah chains are gone Mercy is a song A song of the redeemed I want to set free A glimpse of what awaits for you and me Heaven is a mansion, a promise in the sky That one day we will be singing with those angels up on high That old familiar melody, like we've known it all along Oh heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song Heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song Oh tell me, can you hear it? Singing ohhhhh, there is a light for every soul (There is a life for every soul) No matter where you've been just come along (No matter where you've been, where you've been) Let all God's children sing along (sing along) Hallelujah chains are gone Let all God's children sing along (sing along) Hallelujah chains are gone... Mercy is a song (ohhh) Mercy is a song (ohhh) Mercy is a song (ohhh)
