Mercy

Album Lyrics

Mercy

Then the King of kings said let me wash your feet

Imagine how embarrassed you would feel

He said to me “unless you wash

You’ll have no part of me”

Then I turned around and said

“Not just my feet but my head and hands as well”

 

I need your mercy over my life

Rescue me now from the pain

Your compassion penetrates my soul

Frees me from the guilt and the shame

 

Then the King of kings bent down to wash my feet

His mercy overshadowed all my pride

He said to us that we should wash

The feet of everyone

He was there to love and serve

We were supposed to do the same as well

 

What of the one who went and hid his face

Knowing that he had turned away from grace
