Brought to life this heart of stone Made up my own mind to change my own life

Workin' my own way to good, as if anybody could

But the truth is I've been broken since my very first breath And the truth is…

I know the only reason I can stand here unashamed It's not because I'm worthy, it's all because of mercy

There's no way that I could earn it Praise God, my debt is paid

It's not because I'm worthy, it's all because of mercy

I still remember the day He found me Six feet under all my shame

I heard Him call me out by name Hallelujah, the cross has spoken

Jesus my Savior bled and died To bring this dead man back to life

I'm just as desperate for You now as I was back then If I ever should forget, remind me once again

It's all because of mercy It's all because of mercy
