FATHER OF COMPASSION
Your heart is for the lost
You sent Your only Son for us
Taking all our sin and shame
When Jesus died and rose again
And now we’re free, living in Your freedom
You take the foulest sins and ways
Wash white all my crimson stain
Woah, I’m clean, yeah
You have called, and chosen my name
Now I live, I’m born again
Woah, I’m saved, yeah
God of all comfort
Your heart is full of love
You comfort us through all our troubles
We have received salvation
And the promise that we’re Yours
We are free, we’re living in Your freedom
And now I dance in mercy, now I dance in mercy
Now I dance in mercy, now I dance in mercy, yeah
