[Verse 1]
Desert heat, bare feet, trails of sin in the dust,
Thorns on my path, every step turned to rust.
Wilderness whispers, the echoes of my shame,
But a voice in the wind called me by my name.
Hands scarred, heart marred, I fell to my knees,
Cried to the heavens, "Lord, hear me, please!"
Chains of my making, rattled in the dark,
But mercy lit the night, ignited a spark.
[Prechorus]
"Run," it said, "to the waters that cleanse,
Run to the arms where mercy never ends."
[Chorus]
Mercy runs deep, wider than the sea,
Covers every shadow, sets the captive free.
Mercy runs deep, pouring down like rain,
Healing every heart, washing every stain.
[Verse 2]
On the edge of despair, I reached for the flame,
A prodigal son, drowning in his name.
Valleys of regret, mountains made of pride,
But grace cracked the rocks where my soul tried to hide.
A choir of angels, their song cut the night,
Hallelujahs rising, broke the chains of my fight.
The road was narrow, the journey was steep,
But His mercy—oh, His mercy—runs deep.
