Verse 1

My sins are black as coal tonight

I've stumbled, fallen out of sight

Ten thousand times I turned away

But You kept calling me to stay

Chorus

We cry for mercy, mercy, Lord

We need Your grace to be restored

Make us whole, make us pure as gold

Take control, take control of our souls

Verse 2

Ten thousand times I've failed You, Lord

Ten thousand times You've shown me more

You whisper softly, "Don't you quit,

It's not the sprinters who will win it"

Chorus

We cry for mercy, mercy, Lord

We need Your grace to be restored

Make us whole, make us pure as gold

Take control, take control of our souls

Bridge

When I slip and fall again

You remind me where I've been

You're waiting at the finish line

With open arms, You're always mine

At my own pace, You let me race

I will finish strong, I will finish strong

Chorus/Outro

We cry for mercy, mercy, Lord

We need Your grace to be restored

Make us whole, make us pure as gold

Take control, take control of our souls

Take control, take control of our souls

Tonight, Father, make us whole
