Gord Lang - It's Called Mercy Lyrics

How could a righteous God still love a sinner such as I
Or leave His holy Heav'n and come to earth for me to die
The debt of guilt on my account to fully satisfy
It's called mercy - and it so amazes me!

I stand in awe and watch the golden sun that's setting in the west
And when the northern lights are flashing in the sky I feel so blest
But of all the wonders in this world - when asked which one is best
It's your mercy, Lord, that so amazes me!

At times I fail so deeply as I wander here below
It seems, for all my struggles, I've got nothing left to show
But when I come before You, with repentant heart, I know
That I'll find mercy there, to love and comfort me

And one day, soon, I'll stand before Your throne in Heaven above
Considered worthy only due to Your unchanging love
No more will the accuser try my sinfulness to prove
Still, Your mercy, there shall be complete for me.
