I’ve journeyed far
I’ve slept out in the desert with the stars
I have felt the mystery
I’ve broken down
Seen my dreams fall like ashes to the ground
I’ve been my own worst enemy

But Your mercy
Is the sweetest gift to me
Your sweet mercy
Is the air I wanna breathe
I feel it washing over me
I’ve traveled long
And I’ve prayed for my vision to carry on
When my eyes just couldn’t see
I’ve been betrayed
And I’ve fallen like a child along the way
I’ve been lost in revelry

I’ve felt ashamed
I’ve cursed the very sweetness of Your name
Yet Your grace still covers me
You breathe on me
I feel Your spirit flow like water to the sea
Through the deepest part of me

For Your mercy
Is the sweetest gift to me
Your sweet mercy
Has been so good to me

Your mercy
Is the sweetest gift to me
I feel it washing over me
