Another one from the ”nobodys vault”…Why is it that I expect everyone to cut me some slack, but I struggle to extend grace to other people? “Mercy is a gift that is undeserved…”

from the EP "Act of Surrender"

Sometimes I want to shield my eyes
So I don’t have to see
The way we live our lives
Without mercy
Tell me, where do we find peace
When love is withheld
Where bitterness runs deep
Deep as a well
But oh, when love takes hold
It leads us down the road

To where mercy lives
And where beauty grows
Where foolish things
Can’t come between us anymore
Where mercy lives
And where grace is known
That is the place that I call home
Where mercy lives

Oh see the loving hands
That reach with grace
And see the tender eyes
And the tear-stained face
Forgiveness – it is the bridge
That brings my heart to yours
Mercy is a gift that is undeserved
And oh, when loves takes hold
It leads us down the road
Down the road to where mercy lives…

And oh, remember this
Oh, in the heart that forgives
That’s where mercy lives

Oh let my heart become the home
Where mercy lives
