Mercy Held Back The Bow
It caught me by surprise,
Calling to a darkness deep within.
I didn't try to fight,
Sure that somehow I'd control my sin;
I was lying to myself-
Guilty from the start,
Though You could have aimed an arrow
Straight at my rebellious heart.

Chorus:
Mercy held back the bow.
You looked beyond my wilful sin
To see the brokenness within,
Though I did not get what I deserved.
You took a higher road,
I can't escape the fact
That Mercy held back...the bow.

I offered You betrayal-
You offered me forgiveness in return.
You showered me with love,
When punishment was all I really earned.
With my sin out in the open,
I bowed my head in shame,
But I was pardoned by Your mighty hand
And I'm free in Jesus' name.

(repeat chorus)
