“Beggin’ for Mercy”
(Hard Rock – Fast tempo, palm-muted verses, soaring chorus, twin lead bridge)
(Verse 1)
I was born with a rebel heart
Steel in my veins, tearing truth apart
Chased every fire that burned my name
Danced with the devil, baptized in shame
Built my throne on broken lives
Cut too deep with sharpened lies
Thought I was king of my own disease
Now I’m down on shattered knees.
(Pre-Chorus)
I ran from the light
I cursed Your name
But grace kept calling
Through the flame.
(Chorus)
I’m beggin’ for mercy..beggin’ for mercy!
Down in the dirt where the guilty bleed
Beggin’ for mercy..beggin’ for mercy!
Is there forgiveness left for me?
I crossed the line, I broke the code
Carried the weight of this heavy load
But if Your blood still sets men free
I’m beggin’ for mercy —
Have mercy on me!
(Verse 2)
Hands still stained with yesterday
Haunted by the price I paid
Every road led straight to hell
Built my prison, locked the cell
Heard a whisper through the noise
Not condemnation — just a voice
“Son, My grace is deeper still
No sin too strong, no heart I can’t heal.”
(Pre-Chorus)
I fought the truth
I chose my pride
But nails were driven
For my crimes.
(Chorus)
I’m beggin’ for mercy..beggin’ for mercy!
Down in the dirt where the guilty bleed
Beggin’ for mercy..beggin’ for mercy!
Is there forgiveness left for me?
I crossed the line, I broke the code
Carried the weight of this heavy load
But if Your blood still sets men free
I’m beggin’ for mercy —
Have mercy on me!
(Bridge (Breakdown – Half-time, heavy riff)
I thought I’d gone too far
Too lost to be found
But You left the ninety-nine
Just to track me down
Chains hit the floor
When I called Your name
The cross still stands
And grace remains.
(Guitar Solo Section)
(Twin harmony lead over driving rhythm)
(Final Chorus (Key lift / Double-time drums)
I’m beggin’ for mercy..beggin’ for mercy!
But now I stand in victory
Beggin’ for mercy..beggin’ for mercy!
Your forgiveness rescued me
Was dead in sin, now born again
Was blind but now I see
No longer beggin’ for mercy —
Your mercy lives in me!
