Cry For Mercy
Words and music by Cindy Bauchspies

Why is it that old wounds are hard to heal?
Things we said, what we felt, hadn't we forgotten?
Then all at once, they become o so real,
And once again the dragon rears its head
Didn't healing take place, weren't forgiving words applied?
Then why do I still feel the pain inside
Why is there so much pain inside?

Lord, I cry for your mercy, I beg for your grace
Please give me some assurance that Your eyes are on this place
For the sin that surrounds us, the billowing black
Threatens to undo me

We're so good at hiding the ugly part inside
Sometimes we even try to use Him as our disguise
And from the same tongue, comes kindness and deceit
Can anything be trusted at all?
For a battle is raging, but we mustn't run away
'Cause in the midst of it all one thing still remains
In the midst of it all He still reigns

Lord, I cry for your mercy, I beg for your grace
Please give me some assurance that Your eyes are on this place
For the sin that surrounds us, the billowing black
Threatens to undo me

But beyond the deepest night, where no evil deed can stain
Shines the beauty of His holiness, and it ever will remain
His light is so much brighter, than any darkened day
And His goodness far more reaching, than the depths of sin's decay

'Cause He's given us mercy, He's given us grace
You see his name is Jesus, can you look into His face?
For the sin that surrounds us, He suffered and died
So we might taste true beauty, we might have true life

He's given us mercy, he's given us grace
You see his name is Jesus, won't you look into His face
For the sin that surrounds us, He gave up His life
So we might taste true beauty, we might have true life
We might know true beauty, we might have true life
