And I don't even know if you run over it or not, but there's a song that
he sings, talks about the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
_ _ _ _ I'm glad I didn't get justice
when I came seeking for him.
Oh, listen.
I came seeking mercy.
_ Oh, listen.
This song,
this song blesses my heart.
It's not a loud song.

lead and sings it with so much heart.
_ And I love it.
It says, Jesus [G] have [E] mercy on [D] me.
[G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [G] I'm not _ [D] even worthy _ [G] of all _ of [D] the blessings _ _ [G] I've had while [Bm] [Em] living _ [D] below. _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] When I [Am] _
[D] think
of heaven and [Am] all of [D] its _ splendor, I know I'm not [Em] worthy [F#m] [G] to go.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
Deeply [D] I've tried _ [G] to
do what you _ [D] wanted [G] and be what you'd have [D] [Em] me [D] to be.
_ _ _ [B] But when [C] you make up your _ [B] jewels
[Am] [G] and call in your [Bm] own, _ [Em] _ [D] Jesus _ [F#] have mercy _ [G] on me.
_ _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ [C] _ Jesus have _ [Bm] [Am] mercy [G] on one [Bm] _ _ [C] [C#] who's [D] _ failed
[F#m] and been far [D] [G] from the best.
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [C] _ Jesus have [Bm] mercy [Am] [G] on one who's unworthy _ [A] and _ already _ _ overly
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] blessed.
[G] I've heard of [D] _ _ _ [Em] that awaits all [D] the saints, but [G] that's too high to [Bm] _ [Em] hope [D] to be. _
_ _ But [B] [C] when you look _ down the [Bm] [Am] road, [G] you're calling the [D] road.
[E] _ _ [D] Jesus _ have mercy _ [G] on me.
_ _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ Lord, I'm
down [D] here _ [G] where you used [D] to be.
[G] I failed all the [F#m] tests [Em] that [D] you had, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] and so [E] I won't [Am] be
first in [D] the race, _ but run it _ was [E] all [D] that you [G] asked.
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] [D] When [G] I stand [D] before you [G] on that
final [D] _ day, _ [G] I'm sure that you'll [D] _ [Em] [D] plainly see.
[Am] _ [D] _ _ [Bm] It's [C] not justice I'm a [B] need, [Am] but [G] _ mercy, oh
[Bm] Lord.
[E] _ _ [D] Jesus _ [F#] have mercy _ [G] on me. _
_ _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ Jesus have [Bm] [Am] mercy [G] on one of your [B] [C] children _ [C#] [D] who's failed _ [F#m] and been
far _ [G] from the best. _
_ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ [C] Jesus _ have [Bm] mercy [Am] _ [G] on one who's _ unworthy _ [A] and _ already _ _ overly _ [D] blessed.
_ _ _ [Em] _ [F#] _ [G] I've heard of [D] the glory _ [G] that awaits all [D] the saints, [G] but that's too high _ to hope [E] [D] to be. _
_ _ [Bm] But when [C] you look down the [Bm] road, [Am] and [G] you're calling, _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [D] _ Jesus [F#m] have [F#] mercy [G] on me.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [D] Jesus _ have
mercy _ [G] on _ me. _ _ _ _ _ _
