Mercies New Lyrics

Is it fair to say I was lured away
by endless distractions and lovlier attractions then?
Or fairer still, my own free will
Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess I've made

So I would understand if You were out of patience
And I would understand if I were out of chances

Chorus:
But Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
And when the music is through, or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song
Old things gone
Everyday is true You make all Your mercies new

The distance left between east and west
Is how far You would go to forgive the debt I owe
And thrown into the sea the wicked ways of me
Will never have a chance to walk back on the sand

So I would understand if You would make me pay
And I would understand lying in the bed I made again

Chorus

Up comes the sun on everyone of us
Gone, gone, gone the guilt and shame that knew your name

Chorus
