verse 1 Mercy is a song, singing to my heart Telling me it's ok, come just as you are I never heard a melody, like the one they're singing over me And I just wanna sing along, 'cause mercy is a song verse 2 Freedom is a choir, swaying back and forth Shining in the shadow of a stain glassed Sunday morning Shouting hallelujah, yesterday is gone Oh freedom is a choir and mercy is a song Singing ohhhhh, there is a life for every soul No matter where you've been just come on home Let all God's children sing along Hallelujah chains are gone Mercy is a song verse 3 Guilty is a lie, spoken by a fear Saying after what you've done, you don't deserve to be free But I can look him in the eye, and say this time you're wrong 'Cause guilty is a lie, oh but mercy is a song Singing ohhhhh, there is a life for every soul No matter where you've been just come on home Let all God's children sing along Hallelujah chains are gone Mercy is a song Post-Chorus A song of the redeemed I want to set free A glimpse of what waits for you and me Bridge Heaven is a mansion, a promise in the sky That one day we will be singing with those angels up on high That old familiar melody, like we've known it all along Oh heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song Heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song Oh tell me, can you hear it? Singing ohhhhh, there is a life for every soul No matter where you've been just come on home Let all God's children sing along Hallelujah chains are gone Mercy is a song
