Ok, well, in addition to Old Church Basement – we have been doing a little family carpool karaoke to this song Mercy also by Elevation Worship and Maverick City.

Honestly, the whole idea of grace is simply more profound and incomprehensible the older I get.

The whole of it is that redemption, mercy, and grace are undeserved – but the very definition of Christian love.

Lyrics after the jump.

Mercy:

I’m living proof
Of what the mercy of God can do
If you knew me then, you’d believe me now
You turned my whole life upside down
Took the old and He made it new
That’s just what the mercy of God can do

Now I’m alive to tell the story
How I’ve overcome
It’s His goodness and mercy
And the power of His blood
I’m so glad that my freedom
Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
But the goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
So much power in the blood, oh-mmh

I thought I deserved
Oh, to be six feet beneath the earth
For all the things I’ve done, the things I’ve said
The choices made that I regret
Oh, I would still be lost, oh
But for the mercy of God

Now I’m alive to tell the story
How I’ve overcome
It’s goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
I’m so glad that my freedom
Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
But the goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
Oh, the power of my Savior’s blood
Oh, its was Jesus’ blood, Jesus’ blood

Was the cross meant for me?
That my Savior carried
Now I’ve been made free
By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me?
Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed
By the mercy of God

Was the cross meant for me?
That my Savior carried
Oh, I’ve been made free
By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me?
Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed
By the mercy of God

And I’m alive to tell the story
How I’ve overcome
It’s His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
I’m so glad that my freedom
Wasn’t based on what I’ve done
It’s His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
It’s His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood
Goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood

The power of the blood
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood
It still heals today
There’s still power in the blood (power in the blood)
There’s still power in the blood (there’s still power in the blood)
There’s still power in the blood (there’s still power in the blood)
There’s still power in the blood (there’s still power in the blood)
There’s still power in the blood (there’s still power in the blood)

Oh, wonder-working power (there’s still power in the blood)
Wonder-working power (there’s still power in the blood)
Chain-breaking power (there’s still power in the blood)
Oh, chain-breaking power (there’s still power in the blood)
Shackle-loosing power (there’s still power in the blood)
I know, that I know I know (there’s still power in the blood)
There’s still power in the blood
There’s still power in the blood
There’s still power in the blood
There’s still power in the blood

Was the Cross meant for me?
That my Savior carried
Now I’ve been made free
By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me?
Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed
By the mercy of God

Was the Cross meant for me?
That my Savior carried
Oh, I’ve been made free
By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me?
Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed
By the mercy of God
By the mercy of God (hallelujah)
By the mercy of God (hallelujah)
(Hallelujah, I remember)

-Away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
(What can wash?) What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
(Nothing but His blood)
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh, nothing but the blood of Jesus
