Mercy Ray Boltz

You spoke the word and lit the day
With loving hands, You formed the clay
And made the ones who would betray
Your mercy
On a mountainside, they heard You speak
Saying, "Blessed are the poor and meek"
And on Your knees, You washed their feet
Oh, mercy

Your mercy shines like the morning
When the darkness runs from the day
Like the rising sun, oh, Your glory
Chases the shadows away
We are changed by mercy

To bear the nails to save a friend
Is a thought I cannot comprehend
But to die for those who drove them in
That's Your mercy
And though heaven truly has in store
An eternity of great rewards
The only thing I'm praying for
Is Your mercy

Your mercy shines like the morning
When the darkness runs from the day
Like the rising sun, oh, Your glory
Chases the shadows away
And we are changed by mercy
