I’m living proof
Of what the mercy of God can do
If You knew me then You’d believe me now
He turned my whole life upside down
He took the old and He made it new
That’s just what the mercy of God can do
Now I’m alive to tell the story How I’ve overcome
It’s His goodness and mercy And the power of His blood
I’m so glad that my freedom Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
But His goodness and mercy And the power of the blood
Thought I deserved
To be six feet beneath the earth
For all the things I’ve done The things I’ve said
The choices made that I regret
Oh I would still be lost
But for the mercy of God
Now I’m alive to tell the story How I’ve overcome
It’s His goodness and mercy And the power of His blood
I’m so glad that my freedom Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
But His goodness and mercy And the power of the blood
Was the cross meant for me That my Savior carried
Now I’ve been made free By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed By the mercy of God
Was the cross meant for me That my Savior carried
Now I’ve been made free By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed By the mercy of God
Now I’m alive to tell the story How I’ve overcome
It’s His goodness and mercy And the power of His blood
I’m so glad that my freedom Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
But His goodness and mercy And the power of the blood
Was the cross meant for me That my Savior carried
Now I’ve been made free By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed By the mercy of God
Was the cross meant for me That my Savior carried
Now I’ve been made free By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed By the mercy of God
