All Because of Mercy Songtext
von Casting Crowns

I could stand here
And try to tell you
I found my way here on my own
Brought to life this heart of stone

Made up my own mind
To change my own life
Workin′ my own way to good
As if anybody could

But the truth is I've been broken since my very first breath
And the truth is I′ve been wanderin' since my very first step

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
It's not because I′m worthy
It′s all because of mercy

There's no way that I could earn it
Praise God, my debt is paid
It′s not because I'm worthy
It′s all because of mercy (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)


I still remember
The day He found me
Six feet under all my shame
I heard Him call me out by name

Hallelujah
The cross has spoken
Jesus, my Savior, bled and died
To bring this dead man back to life

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
It's not because I′m worthy
It's all because of mercy

There's no way that I could earn it
Praise God, my debt is paid
It′s not because I′m worthy
It's all because of mercy (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
It′s all because of mercy (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)


I'm just as desperate for you now
As I was back then
If I ever should forget
Remind me once again
I′m just as desperate for you now
As I was back then
If I ever should forget
Remind me once again

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
It's not because I′m worthy
It's all because of mercy

There's no way that I could earn it
Praise God, my debt is paid
It′s not because I′m worthy
It's all because of mercy (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Because of Your mercy (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Oh, hallelujah (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, hallelujah (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
It′s all because of mercy
