Merciful to Me lyrics

The angry men were closing in
Rocks were in their hands
A decent payment for her sin
Now her life must end
But Jesus said, "Let he who is innocent
Cast your stone today"
I wasn't there to see her face
But I can almost hear her say

Merciful to me
When I deserved to die
Merciful to me
My soul He brought to life
Nothing could I bring
My debt to satisfy
Jesus was merciful
Merciful to me

Satan's men were closing in
I knew what was in store
A decent payment for my sin
Eternal fire and more
But Jesus said, "I have an announcement
I'd like to make today
You see I have the scars to prove
That I've taken this one's place"
Merciful to me
When I deserved to die
Merciful to me
My soul He brought to life
Nothing could I bring
My debt to satisfy
Jesus was merciful
Merciful to me

Nothing could I bring
My debt to satisfy
Jesus was merciful
Jesus was merciful
Jesus was merciful
Merciful to me, to me
