Mercy Said No Lyrics

I was just a child when I felt the Saviour leading
I was drawn by things I could not understand
For the cause of Christ I have spent my days
Believing that what He'd have me be is who I am
As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
Mercy said no

I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Life and Death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank you Jesus, mercy said no

God so loved the world that He gave His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
But deep within our hearts there is still a war that rages
That makes the sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell on crucifixion dayCathy Goddard - Mercy Said No - http://motolyrics.com/cathy-goddard/mercy-said-no-lyrics.html
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's role
Mercy said no

I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Life and Death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank you Jesus, mercy said no

Now when Heaven looks at me it's through the Blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago….
Mercy said no

I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Life and Death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank you Jesus, mercy said no
