I WAS POOR I WAS WEAK
I WAS THE DEFINITION OF THE SPIRITUALLY
BANKRUPT CONDITION, SO IN NEED OF HELP

I WAS UNSATISFIED, HUNGRY AND THIRSTY
WHEN YOU RUSHED TO MY SIDE, SO UNWORTHY
STILL YOU GAVE YOURSELF AWAY

THAT'S THE MOTION OF MERCY
CHANGING THE WAY AND THE WHY WE ARE
THAT'S THE MOTION OF MERCY
MOVING MY HEART

NOW I'M FILLED BY A LOVE THAT CALLS ME TO ACTION
I WAS EMPTY BEFORE, NOW I'M DRAWN TO COMPASSION
AND TO GIVE MYSELF AWAY

LIVING FOR THE LOST, LOVING 'TIL IT HURTS
NO MATTER WHAT THE COST, LIKE YOU LOVED ME FIRST
THAT'S THE MOTION OF MERCY

GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH TO GIVE SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
I WANNA BE A GLIMPSE OF THE KINGDOM THAT'S COMING SOON

TO GIVE YOURSELF AWAY
TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY
THAT'S THE MOTION OF MERCY
