Song: Mercy Came Running
Capo: 4
Intro: G
Verse 1:
[C] Once there was a h[G]oly place.[C] Evidence of [G]God?s embrace[C].
I can almost see me[G]rcy?s face,[C] pressed against the vei[D]l.[C]
Looking down with lo[G]nging eyes, [C]mercy must have [G]realize[C]d.
Once His blood was [G]sacrificed [C]freedom would prevail[D].
And as the s[C]ky grew dark, and the ea[G]rth began to shake.
With ju[Bm]stice no l[Am]onger [C]in the w[D]ay!
Chorus:
Mercy Came a [G]runnin' like a pris?ner set f[D]ree.
Past all my fa[Em]ilures, to the p[C]oint of my n[D]eed.
When the [C]sin that I ca[G]rried, was all I could [D]see.
And when I [C]could not reach mercy,
[Am]Mercy came a [D]runnin? to [G]me.[D]
[C] Once there was a [G]broken heart.[C] Way to human f[G]rom the start.[C]
All the years left it [G]torn apart,[C] hopeless and afrai[D]d.[C]
Walls I never [G]meant to build[C], left this pris?ner[G] unfulfilled[C]
Freedom called but [G]even still, it[C] seemed so far awa[D]y.
I was [C]bound by the chains, from t[G]he wages of my sin!
[Bm]Just when I [Am]felt like givi[C]n? in[D]!
Chorus:
Mercy Came a [G]runnin' like a pris?ner set f[D]ree.
Past all my fa[Em]ilures, to the p[C]oint of my n[D]eed.
When the [C]sin that I ca[G]rried, was all I could [D]see.
And when I [C]could not reach mercy,
[Am]Mercy came a [D]runnin? to [G]me.
Bridge:
[Bb] Sometimes I still feel so [G]far!
So far from where I really should [Bb]be.
He gently calls to my h[D]eart! Just to remind me!

Chorus:
Mercy came a ru[A]nnin?, like a pris?ner set f[E]ree.
Past all my fa[F#m]ilures, to the point of my n[E]eed.
When the sin that I car[A]ried, was all I could s[E]ee.
And when I c[F#m]ould not reach mercy, me[E]rcy came a runnin? to [A]me.
Mercy came a ru[A]nnin?, like a pris?ner set f[E]ree.
I Past all my [F#m]failures, to the point of my[E] need.

And when I c[F#m]ould not reach mercy
