Moved By Mercy - Matthew West

She said I keep having the same dream

Close my eyes and I’m chasing a younger me

Try to wrap my arms around her

Shield her from the hell that found her

But I’m always just a little too late

I see the tears falling down her face

How come no one protected

The little girl that the world rejected

Oh, where do you go when you can’t go back

Can’t save the past

And she cries in the middle of the night

Take me far away now

From this broken place now

Somewhere they can’t hurt me

I wanna be moved by mercy

Jesus, I can’t see You

I just know I need You

Help me start a new life

Let my heart be moved by mercy

I used to be a future burning bright

Now I’m just another sleepless night

All the hurt that you hide behind that door

I’m not gonna let it hurt you anymore

For so long I thought You abandoned me

Now I’m starting to see things differently

I’m the one who began a good work in you

And I’m the one who is gonna see it through

I’ll see you through

Take me far away now

From this broken place now

Somewhere they can’t hurt me

I wanna be moved by mercy

Jesus, I can’t see You

I just know I need You

Help me start a new life

Let my heart be moved by mercy

For so long I felt so unworthy

But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy

So here I stand, a child undeserving

Take My hand and let your heart

Be moved by mercy
