Purpose
Why this song exists.
Mercy Flowing exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into the cross. A quieter track that brings the cross theme inward, allowing mercy and forgiveness to be sung gently.

Meaning

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold tenderness, forgiveness and nearness, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.

Verse 1
At the cross where love was poured out Mercy opened like a stream What was dry with grief and failure Found new life and found release You did not turn from my weakness You did not leave me in shame From the wounds of my Redeemer Grace came calling out my name
Chorus
Mercy flowing Mercy flowing From the heart of Christ to me Mercy flowing Mercy flowing Washing over all of me Where my sin had left me burdened Where my soul had lost its song Jesus, through Your cross You found me Mercy flowing all along
Verse 2
There is pardon for the fallen There is healing for the worn There is welcome for the weary In the shelter of the Lord And the fear that once defined me Has no claim to hold me now For the blood of Jesus speaks peace Over every aching part
Chorus
Mercy flowing Mercy flowing From the heart of Christ to me Mercy flowing Mercy flowing Washing over all of me Where my sin had left me burdened Where my soul had lost its song Jesus, through Your cross You found me Mercy flowing all along
Bridge
Let Your mercy Let Your mercy Wash over me again Let Your mercy Let Your mercy Lead me home and make me whole
Bridge
Let Your mercy Let Your mercy Wash over me again Let Your mercy Let Your mercy Lead me home and make me whole
Final Chorus
Mercy flowing Mercy flowing From the heart of Christ to me Mercy flowing Mercy flowing Washing over all of me Where my sin had left me burdened Where my soul had lost its song Jesus, through Your cross You found me Mercy flowing all along
