MERCY CAME and rescued us,
Destroying fear with perfect love.
Our lives reborn, our lives washed clean,
Our hearts repaired, we are redeemed.
What kindness was revealed?
The Son of God appeared:
It is Jesus, Jesus, oh, oh.

Christ was judged in place of us.
Our punishment was laid on Him,
One sacrifice for all our sin.
There is mercy for today,
Mercy for today,
Fresh mercy.
