Verse 1
I used to wake up shakin’, barely holdin’ on,
Feelin’ like the night was louder than the dawn.
I had darkness in my bloodstream, fear in my chest,
Tryin’ to outrun demons that never let me rest.
But one night I broke, cried out His name,
And Heaven hit my heart like a holy flame.
Now the poison’s gone, and the truth remains—
I ain’t got death no more… I got mercy in my veins.
Chorus
I got mercy in my veins, runnin’ wild and free,
Flowin’ like a river through the heart of me.
Grace took the place where the pain once stayed,
And the blood of the Lamb washed the old away.
From the hollers to the heavens, let the world proclaim:
I ain’t who I was… I got mercy in my veins.
Verse 2
I remember every moment when the chains felt tight,
When the cravings hit hard in the middle of the night.
But Jesus held steady when I couldn’t stand,
Carried me through fire with a mighty hand.
Now I’m livin’ proof that a soul can change,
That a man can rise up from the mess he made.
I’m a walkin’ miracle, a brand‑new name—
A sinner saved by mercy in my veins.
Chorus
I got mercy in my veins, runnin’ wild and free,
Flowin’ like a river through the heart of me.
Grace took the place where the pain once stayed,
And the blood of the Lamb washed the old away.
From the hollers to the heavens, let the world proclaim:
I ain’t who I was… I got mercy in my veins.
