Couplet 1

Somehow mercy
Has followed me
Into places I thought
It could never be
Before you give up now
And throw in the towel
Hear this testimony

Refrain

Mercy called my name
When I was hiding in my shame
His love was still the same
Mercy called my name
I’ll never forget the day
When mercy called my name

Couplet 2

A thousand mistakes
Should have been my grave
And too many times I ran away
But mercy’s voice
Made me its choice
Hear this testimony

Mercy called my name
When I was hiding in my shame
His love was still the same
Mercy called my name
I’ll never forget the day
When mercy called my name

Pont

Mercy called me by my first name
Mercy called me by my first name
Mercy called me by my first name
Now my pedigree is not my destiny

Pont

He called me by my first name
He called me by my first name
He called me by my first name
Now my pedigree is not my destiny

Pont

Jesus called me by my first name
Jesus called me by my first name
Jesus called me by my first name
He has given me a new destiny

Couplet 3

I will never forget the day
I’m so grateful for that day
When Jesus gave
A brand new destiny
