[Verse 1]
Well, I am the woman at the well, I am the harlot
I am the scattered seed that fell along the path
I am the son who ran away
I am the bitter son who stayed

[Chorus]
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me?
You took my sin and wrapped me in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song, song I sing

[Verse 2]
I am the angry men who came to stone the lover
I am the woman there ashamed before the crowd
Well, I am the leper who gave thanks
And I am the nine who never came

[Chorus]
My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me?
You took my sin and wrapped me in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song, the song I sing
