Here I am a sinner
Broken and in need of You
Take my life and wash my fears away
For You are the Great I AM
Rest assured, I feel Your hand
Holding me until the darkness clears
A Father to the fatherless
Redeemer of my soul
My Life is Yours forever
I want the world to know
Your mercy saved me
Mercy made me whole
Your mercy found me
Called me as Your own
Here I stand a child of Yours
Broken and in need of You
Break these chains and wash my guilt away
Healer of my brokenness
My weary soul will find its rest
You are my strength, the lifter of my head
You’re greater than my yesterdays
You hold me close today
You’re the Lord of my tomorrows
My heart will always say
You’re greater than my yesterdays
You hold me close today
You’re the Lord of my tomorrows
My heart will always say
You called me as Your own
You called me as Your own
Thank You for Your mercy
Thank You for Your mercy
You called me as Your own
Your own

Behind the Song:
“Recently we traveled to New Zealand and played in the Parachute Festival. We met the Parachute Band and right before we went on stage, they played a song called ‘Mercy.’ Just hearing Omega [Parachute Band’s lead singer] sing that song, and what God had brought him through, just really bonded with us. As worship leaders – we all lead worship in our own church – you’re always looking for songs that connect with the body of Christ. We worked together with Parachute Band to add some verses to it. Megan’s beautiful voice just leads this song out; it’s going to be a great song for the church.” -- Mark Hall, Casting Crowns
