Lyrics
======
I will kneel in the dust
At the foot of the cross,
Where mercy paid for me.
Where the wrath I deserve,
It is gone, it has passed.
Your blood has hidden me.

Mercy, mercy,
As endless as the sea.
I’ll sing Your hallelujah
For all eternity.

We will lift up the cup
And the bread we will break,
Remembering Your love.
We were fallen from grace,
But You took on our shame
And nailed it to a cross.

Mercy, mercy,
As endless as the sea.
I’ll sing Your hallelujah
For all eternity.

Mercy, mercy,
As endless as the sea.
I’ll sing Your hallelujah
For all eternity.

May I never lose the wonder,
Oh, the wonder of Your mercy.
May I sing Your hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Amen.

 

The Meaning Behind Mercy

Mercy by Matt Redman is a heartfelt worship song that reflects deeply on the compassion and forgiveness of God. It acknowledges our need for grace and celebrates the mercy that flows from the heart of the Father through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

This song leads us to the foot of the cross, where mercy triumphs over judgment. It’s a reminder that no matter our past or failures, God’s mercy is new every morning and available to all who call upon His name.

Biblical Inspiration

The themes in Mercy are powerfully supported by Scripture:

  • Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) – “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

  • Ephesians 2:4-5 (NIV) – “But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”

  • Titus 3:5 (NIV) – “He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.”

These verses remind us that God’s mercy is not something we earn—it is a gift freely given because of His love.

Personal Reflection & Application

Let this song guide you into personal reflection:

  • In what ways has God shown you His mercy throughout your life?

  • Are you carrying guilt or shame that you need to release at the cross?

Mercy is not just a theme to sing about—it’s a reality to embrace and a calling to live out.
