New Mercies Lyrics

I'm feeling the danger; my love's growing cold

It's not the way I came into all this

I came as a stranger, a slave and a fool

Steadfast love pulled me up from my mess

How I love in the morning, when your mercies are new

I can breathe in your loving and know your promises ring true

I need a clear head, 'cause this ain't a game

Broken hearts are all around me

It's easy to anger, to point and to blame

Judgment takes a back seat to mercy

How I love in the morning, remind me who I am

I can breathe in your loving and hear your words tell me that I can

I can just stop it, be loving and kind

Scorn the shame that overtakes me

You gave me a new heart, renewing my mind

And I know you will not forsake me
