Verso 1

I could stand here
And try to tell you
I found my way here on my own
I brought to life this heart of stone
Made up my own mind
To change my own life
Working my own way to good
As if anybody could

Pre Coro

But the truth is I've been broken
Since my very first breath
And the truth is I've been wandering
Since my very first step

Coro

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is 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

Verso 2

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

Coro

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is 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

Puente

I’m just as desperate for You now
As I was back then
If I ever should forget
Remind me once again

Coro

I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed
Is 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

Outro

It's all because of mercy
It's all because of mercy
