Gladys Knight - Mercy's Arms lyrics

rate me

The mighty fortress walls

I have built around my foolish heart

How they crumble and they fall

As I surrender all

To mercy's arms

Bathed in holy rain

Cleansed from sinner's bitter stains

Only love remains

And I'm forever changed

By mercy's arms

Sweet the surrender

Sweet the embrace

Sweet the forgiveness

To one forever undeserving of his grace

Safely encircled

Rested and warmed

Sweet is the taste

Of love that awaits in mercy's arms

In the light, the life, the way

Is the key unlocking every chain

Sin is lost and freedom gained

The price was paid

By mercy's arms

When I reach my journey's end

How I hope that He will call me friend

And reach out for me again

Forever spend

In mercy's arms
