mercy that covers me

I’ve seen the darkness

And it saw me

But here in the light

Where the dark can’t see

There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

Now I am found

But once was lost

And there in the gutter

Where the wheels came off

There was a sweet glow of mercy that covered me

It picked me up

And set me right

Brought me day

And killed my night

Mercy’s there at every turn

Mercy gives what I can’t earn

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy

Yeah, that sweet glow of mercy

Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me

I’ve been known to run

But I can’t hide

I can’t get away

From the light inside

There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

I have fun

I got fast

But when the pull

Of this life has passed

There will be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

 

-Gary Chapman, Sweet Glow of Mercy
