Mercy Said No
I was wallowing in wickedness and woe
And faced with a fearless, fiery foe,
I was weak and weary, in sin I wallow;
But mercy said no and never let me go…
I lost all the saintly seeds I wanted to sow;
All my blessed balloons I couldn’t blow
…in that sour season, I was sick and slow
Yet mercy said no and never let me go…
I was haunted by a scary shadow,
I could hear the song of the saintly sparrow
Saying I need to go back to The Way… narrow.
Oh mercy said no and never let me go…
I lost the glorious glee and glow,
I couldn’t pay back the debt I owe;
My valiant voice suddenly went low,
Yet mercy said no and never let me go…
Now, I have surrendered my sin and sorrow
His saving grace and glory I know;
I’m free from the forceful, fiery foe
Because mercy said no and never let me go...
