There’s a wall inside my heart
Can’t get round it
Keeps the two of us apart
Can’t get over it
But under my skin is where you begin
And your kindness leads me now
Oh mercy Jesus Son of God
Oh mercy shine your light on us
When you took your broken heart
And fed the world with it
You gave us all a brand new start
I can’t get over it
And under my skin, forgiveness sets in
And your kindness leads me now
Oh mercy Jesus Son of God
Oh mercy shine your light on us
Oh mercy Jesus Son of God
Oh mercy shine your light on us
And under my skin your spirit within
Is leading me home
Oh mercy Jesus Son of God
Oh mercy shine your light on us
