ENDLESS MERCY FALLS DOWN like a flood
Each time I wonder astray
Slow to anger, abounding in love
I find no end to Your grace
But I’m found within Your embrace
Many times have I fallen astray
Many times have I failed
Lord, Your mercy has found me
Just as I am, You’ve turned me around
East to west is a distance unknown
In truth they never will meet
Just as far now I live from my shame
Removed forever from me
Now I’ll live forgiven and free
You love me, You cleanse me
You wash me whiter than the snow
You catch me, You hold me
Your love will never let me go
Simon Brading & Matt Redman
