Mercy's War
(专辑: The Wonderlands: Dawn - 2015)
I
was looking for excuses, And you offered me my soul In the
name of all my weakness, In the
name of Rock & Roll By your sickness I
am healed, As they broke you, I
am whole Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus I
went looking for the
fig leaves, And you asked me what they're for I
was building up a
wall, And you offered me a
door I
was hoping for silver spoons, When you handed me a
sword Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus Maker is unmade, Love succumbs to hate, Life himself is slain Is death the
only way? Is death the
only way? I
went looking for religion, Absolutely not a
friend I
went looking for ways out, And you showed me the
way in I
went looking for a
ghost, And instead I
found a
man Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus 'Felt like I
was at the
end, 'Felt like giving up on life I
talked about your mother And denied you once or twice Yeah, I
plucked out your beard, 'Put a
sword into your side Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus Life and love are torn, Like a
blaze of earthly swords You cut the
final cord This is mercy's war This is mercy's war I
was chasing after safety, When my world went up in flames You sought all my defenses, Watched my ashes down the
drain 'Thought mercy was a
stranger, But you called me out by name Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus Your wounds were gaping open, 'Couldn't recognize you at first And all I
had to offer you was an insult or a
curse Your blood dripped down like poison On the
nauseated earth Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus This is mercy's war This is mercy's war This is mercy's war This is mercy's war This is mercy's war This is mercy's war Oh, the
wonderful blood of Jesus
