(Verse 1)
I’ve been walkin’ ‘round with pride too heavy,
Chasin’ things that only weigh me down.
But I heard a whisper sayin’, “Son, choose mercy—
Lift your brother up, don’t push him to the ground.”
So I’m tryin’ to see the world with softer eyes,
Put your heart above my foolish pride.
Ain’t about me anymore—
It’s about who’s hurtin’ right beside.
(Bridge)
And I remember how Love found me,
When I was lost in all my sin.
He gave His life before I ever
Let His holy fire in.
(Chorus)
’Cause there’s no greater love than layin’ your life down,
No deeper grace than when He turned my life around.
When I fall on my knees, He hears every cry—
Wipes the slate clean, lifts me up every time.
So I’ll forgive like He forgave me, let compassion overflow,
And I’ll hold tight to a love that never lets go.
(Verse 2)
I’ve been judged, and Lord knows I’ve judged right back,
Throwin’ stones from a house cracked down the middle.
But He said, “Lay ‘em down, son, loosen that grip—
Mercy ain’t mercy if it’s only in the little.”
So I’m tryin’, best I can, to mend what’s torn,
To let kindness be the fire that keeps me warm.
’Cause freedom ain’t for runnin’ wild—
It’s for servin’ each other through the storm.
(bridge)
Not just in words, not just in talk,
But in the way I choose to live.
He pulled me up from death to life,
All on mercy He loves to give.
(Chorus)
’Cause there’s no greater love than layin’ your life down,
No deeper grace than when He turned my life around.
When I fall on my knees, He hears every cry—
Wipes the slate clean, lifts me up every time.
So I’ll forgive like He forgave me, let compassion overflow,
And I’ll hold tight to a love that never lets go.
(Verse)
The mountains may crumble, the world may shake,
But His steady love no storm can take.
Not death, not life, no demon, no fear—
Can pull me from the love that holds me near.
Oh, His mercy’s richer than all my shame—
I’m alive, forever changed.
(Bridge)
He loved this broken world enough
To give His only Son.
So I’m givin’ thanks with every breath—
He’s good, and His love lives on.
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, there’s no greater love than layin’ your life down,
And I’m standin’ here saved on that holy ground.
When I fall on my knees, He hears every cry—
Wipes the slate clean, lifts me up every time.
So I’ll forgive like He forgave me, let compassion overflow,
And I’ll hold tight—
Hold tight—
To a love that never lets go.
