"Mercy Is A Song" lyrics - MATTHEW WEST

Mercy is a song, singing to my heart
Telling me it's ok, come just as you are
I never heard a melody, like the one that's singing over me
And I just wanna sing along, 'cause mercy is a song

Freedom is a choir, swaying back and forth
Shining in the shadow of a stain glassed Sunday morning
Shouting hallelujah, yesterday is gone
Oh freedom is a choir and mercy is a song

[Chorus:]
Singing ohhhhh, there is a light for every soul
No matter where you've been just come on home
Let all God's children sing along
Hallelujah chains are gone
Mercy is a song

Guilty is a lie, spoken by a thief
Saying after what you've done, you don't deserve to be free
But I can look him in the eye, and say this time you're wrong
'Cause guilty is a lie, oh but mercy is a song

[Chorus:]
Singing ohhhhh, there is a light for every soul
No matter where you've been just come on home
Let all God's children sing along
Hallelujah chains are gone
Mercy is a song

[Post-Chorus:]
The song of the redeemed
The ones set free
A glimpse of what waits for you and me

[Bridge:]
Heaven is a mansion, a promise in the sky
That one day we will be singing with those angels up on high
That old familiar melody, like we've known it all along
Oh heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song
Heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song
Oh tell me, can you hear it?

[Chorus:]
Singing ohhhhh, there is a light for every soul
(There is a light for every soul)
No matter where you've been just come on home
(No matter where you've been, where you've been)
Let all God's children sing along (sing along)
Hallelujah chains are gone
Let all God's children sing along (sing along)
Hallelujah chains are gone...

[Outro:]
Mercy is a song (ohhh)
Mercy is a song (ohhh)
Mercy is a song (ohhh)
