Couplet 1

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

Refrain

Now 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
The goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood

Couplet 2

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
But for the mercy of God

Refrain

Now 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
The goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood

Pont 1

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

Pont 2

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

Refrain

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
