Mercy Found Me

You know, I was just a little girl when I first prayed for salvation.  Most folks might think that because of that, I don't know much about hurt, pain, sin, desperation, and running from God.  Thank God, I was spared MANY scars that some folks have to endure because I gave my heart to God as a 4 year old.  But I have to admit, I wandered, I ran, and I doubted many times that I was lovable and God really wanted me.  Other times, I'm sure I have tested God's grace and mercy to the limits.  I've mentioned it before on my blog, that I'm thankful that God's mercies are made new everyday because I sure need it daily!

 

 I just want to share the lyrics to one of my new favorite songs.  Not only is the music great but the lyrics are powerful.  

 

"When Mercy Found Me"  (Rhett Walker Band)

 

I can't count the broken roads I've been down, but all I know;
Something had to give; something had to give.
Cause living my life so wild and free
Finally caught up
Oh it left me broken; left me hopeless,
But that's where I met Jesus.


In one moment everything changed
Who I was got washed away
When mercy found me
My Savior's arms were open wide
And I felt love for the very first time
When mercy found me
When mercy found me

All those days, all those doubts
They don't seem to matter now.
His Grace is all I need
His Grace is all I need
And the chains that I was in before
They don't hold me anymore
His love has rescued me.
His love has set me free.

My mind found peace
My soul found hope
My heart found a home.
