It’s a blue sky morning It’s a new day dawning It’s a million miles from a past that’s haunted you forever It’s a prayer that’s answered It’s a second chance for A life you never ever even dreamed that you could live That’s what mercy is It’s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again No matter where you’ve been That’s what mercy is It’s the voice that’s calling out come back home again You can come back home again Picture waking up to find that you’re brand new That’s what mercy is It’s the word forgiven Shouted straight from heaven To a heart that’s broken From the only one who’ll make it whole again It’s a song of freedom Sung for all who’ll listen There’s a door wide open Saying all you weary souls come right on in That’s what mercy is It’s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again No matter where you’ve been That’s what mercy is It’s the voice that’s calling out come back home again You can come back home again Picture waking up to find that you’re brand new That’s what mercy is It’s a cross, it’s a grave, it’s a stone that’s rolled away It’s three nails that held the price for all our sin It’s a Father, it’s a Son, knowing something must be done It’s the greatest gift of love that’s ever been That’s what mercy is
