Mercy called my name;
In my helpless state
Guilt showed me my shame;
A reason to stay
Mercy called me beautiful
Guilt said I was a fool
Mercy called me wonderful,
Guilt named me horrible
Mercy called me His beloved,
Guilt showed me my flaws
Mercy said I’ll be of Good use,
Guilt yelled I was of no good
Mercy promised he’ll heal my wounds,
Guilt said I was too deep in ruins
So Mercy said he’ll fix me,
But guilt wouldn’t let him
I’m hunted by these voices
My mind shattered into pieces
I’ve decided to go for the serene
But guilt had me in chains
Stretched out my hand for a quick pull
But guilt drowned me deeper in the pool
Away from reach, away from light, away from hope;
So I retired to fate.
Letting guilt have its way
Praying for death’s come
Wishing it’ll bring with it peace
But mercy said No!
Coming boldly to the rescue,
Pulling me in one swoop
Out of my mischief into victory
And placed me on solid ground
Now guilt stand in its shame
As mercy placed me In His grace
I am healed and saved,
No longer in chains, no longer a slave
Cos Mercy said NO!
