Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been runnin’ hard on a broken road
Chasin’ ghosts I thought I owed
Whiskey nights and a heart of stone
Tryin’ to build a kingdom of my own
Boot heels worn from pride and sin
Every mile just boxed me in
Thought I was free with the pedal down
But a slave don’t know he’s chained till he hits the ground
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I heard a whisper through the engine’s roar
“Son, you don’t have to fight no more…”
⸻
Chorus
There’s mercy on the line,
Blood on the wood, and it paid my fine
Grace strong enough to break these chains
Washed me clean in a holy rain
I was lost in the night, couldn’t see no sign
But the cross cut through like a county line
Now I’m standin’ on truth I can’t outrun
Saved by grace, by the risen Son
Yeah, there’s mercy on the line.
⸻
Verse 2
I tried religion like a Sunday suit
Pressed and clean but it ain’t no root
Sang them hymns with a rebel heart
Half in church, half torn apart
But the Word cut deep like a two-edged blade
Showed me debts that I never paid
Didn’t come to make bad men good
Came to raise the dead like only God could
⸻
Bridge
Now I ain’t sayin’ I don’t still fight
Flesh still kicks in the dead of night
But greater is He who lives in me
Than the old man hangin’ on that tree
Sanctify me, Lord, step by step
Teach my hands what my heart forgets
I don’t walk alone down this dirt road
Spirit leads me home
⸻
Final Chorus
There’s mercy on the line,
Nails in His hands and it covered mine
No more runnin’, no more shame
I’ve been bought and I bear His name
Storm may roll and the past may call
But the Rock don’t move and He won’t let me fall
From the grave to glory divine
There’s mercy on the line
⸻
Outro
If you’re drivin’ fast down a dead-end road
Tryin’ to carry that heavy load
Lay it down at the rugged sign
There’s mercy…
On the line.
