Crying out for mercy, reaching for forgiveness
As I write words on paper may they express your heart
As I discover the meaning of truly living
I want to bring you all of my being because you are everything
Words come up short, and a thousand breaths wouldn’t be enough
to describe your majesty, your splendor and your heart for the world

I am asking for you to teach me a new way of crying
A joy that fills my soul when I wirte these thoughts on paper
A heart for the nations that beats with compassion
Let them see grace through the empty space
A longing for the lost teaching them what the gospel is
I can’t grab a hold of everything, but I grasp your hand

A way to express emotion, a way to show my love and devotion
A mercy so rich and full that no mind can comprehend
A love so vibrant with your heart, no one can describe
I keep writing because you are working
I have come so far because you have carried me
A bridge of mercy has led me to you.

Inspired by a conversation that Matt Riley and I had about my passion for lyrics, and expressing my heart on paper.
