Greg Long - Mercy Said No lyrics

I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading I was drawn to what I could not understand And for the cause of Christ I have spent my days believing What He'd have me be is who I am As I've come see the weaker side of me I've realized his grace is what I need When sin demanded justice for my soul Mercy said no, I'm not gonna let you go I'm not gonna let you slip away You don't have to be afraid Mercy said no, sin will never take control Life and d**h stood face to face Darkness tried to steal my heart away Thank you Jesus Mercy said no For God so loved the world that He sent His Son to save us From the cross He built a bridge to set us free Oh, but deep within our hearts There is still a war that rages And makes the sacrifice so hard to see As midnight fell on crucifixion day The light of hope seemed oh so far away And as evil tried to stop redemption's flow Mercy said no, I'm not gonna let you go I'm not gonna let you slip away You don't have to be afraid Mercy said no, sin will never take control Life and d**h stood face to face Darkness tried to steal my heart away Thank you Jesus Mercy said no And now when Heaven looks at me It's through the blood of Jesus Reminding me of one day long ago Mercy said no, I'm not gonna let you go I'm not gonna let you slip away You don't have to be afraid Mercy said no, sin will never take control Life and d**h stood face to face Darkness tried to steal my heart away Thank you Jesus Mercy said no
