Mercy Came Running Chords by Gold City

_ _ This is a song that's on our brand new album.
I'm so thankful that when I've gone as far as I can go,
God's mercy comes to me.
Thank you.
[D] _ Once there [A] was a holy _ place
[D] The evidence of God's embrace
[Bm] _ I can almost [A] see mercy's [D] face
Pressed against the [A] veil _
[D] _ _ _ _ Looking [A] down with longing [D] eyes
_ Mercy [A] must have _
[D] realized
[Bm] _ That once his [A] blood was _ sacrificed
[D] Freedom would [A] prevail _
[D] _ [Bm] And as the skies grew dark
[A] And the earth began to shake
With [E] justice no [D] longer in the [Bm] way
_ _ Mercy [A] came a-running
Like a prisoner [E] set free
I passed all [A] my failures
[D] To the point [E] of my knee
The sin that [A] I carried
Was all I [E] could see
[D] And when I could not reach mercy
[Bm] Mercy came a-running [A] to _ me
[B] Oh, yes it did
[D] _ _
Once there [A] was a broken heart
[D] _ _
Way too human from the start
[Bm] _
And all the years [A] left it torn apart
[D] Hopeless and afraid _ _ _ _ _ _
The walls I [A] never meant to build
[D] _
They left this prisoner _ unfulfilled
[Bm] _ _
Freedom [A] called but even still
[D] It seemed so [B] far away
[A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] I was bound by the chains
[A] From the wages of my sin
[E] Just when I felt like [D] _ [Bm] giving in _ _
Mercy [A] came a-running
Like a prisoner [E] set free
I passed all [A] my failures
To the point [E] of my [F#] knee
The sin that [A] I carried
Was all I [E] could see
[D] And when I could not reach mercy
[B] Mercy came [E] a-running [A] to me
_ [F] _ _
Sometimes I still feel [A] so far
_ So far from where I really should [F] be
Oh, it's in [Dm] me
It calls to [E] my heart
Just to remind me
That mercy came [B] a-running
Like a prisoner [F#] set free
I passed all [B] my failures
[E] To the point of [F#] my knee
The sin that [B] I carried
Was all I [F#] could see
[E] And when I could not reach mercy
[C#] Mercy came [F#] a-running
_ [B] _
Like a prisoner [F#] set free
I passed all [B] my failures
[E] To the point of [F#] my knee
The sin that I [B] carried
Was all I [F#] could see
[E] And when I could not reach mercy
[C#m] Mercy came [F#] a-running to _
[B] me _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
