Verse 1 I'm living proof Of what the mercy of God can do If You knew me then You'd believe me now He turned my whole life up(B)side down He took the old and He made it new That's just what the mercy of God can do Chorus Now I'm alive to tell the story How I've overcome It's His goodness and mercy And the power of His blood I'm so glad that my freedom Wasn't based on what I've done The goodness and mercy And the power of the blood Verse 2 I thought I deserved To be six feet beneath the earth For all the things I've done The things I've said The choices made that I regret Oh, I would still be lost But for the mercy of God Chorus Now I'm alive to tell the story How I've overcome It's His goodness and mercy And the power of the blood I'm so glad that my freedom Wasn't based on what I've done But the goodness and mercy And the power of the blood Bridge Was the cross meant for me That my Savior carried? Now I've been made free By the mercy of God Was the grave meant for me Where my sin lay buried? Now I stand redeemed By the mercy of God Was the cross meant for me That my Savior carried? Now I've been made free By the mercy of God Was the grave meant for me Where my sin lay buried? Now I stand redeemed By the mercy of God
