Motion Of Mercy Lyrics


I was poor I was weak
I was the definition of the spiritually
Bankrupt condition
So in need of helpI was unsatisfied
Hungry and thirsty
When You rushed to my side
So unworthy
Still You gave yourself, awayThat's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heartNow 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, awayThat's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heartLiving for the lost
Loving 'til it hurts

No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That's the motion of mercyGod give me strength
To give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of
The Kingdom that's coming soonThat's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heartLiving for the lost
Loving 'til it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like You loved me first
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heartOh to give yourself away
To give it all away
That's the motion of mercy

Francesca Battistelli (born May 18, 1985) is an Italian-American christian musician from New York City, New York. She was originally an independent artist and had released an independent album, just a breath, in 2004. Her first studio album on Fervent Records, My Paper Heart, was released on July 22, 2008. According to the Free To Be Me Songfacts, "Free To Be Me" was released as the second single from the album and it shattered records in becoming the most added song by a female artist in Christian radio history and holding the #1 slot for ten consecutive weeks. Battistelli received her first Grammy Award 2009 nomination for "Best Gospel Performance" for the single.

Between the release of her debut album My Paper Heart and its follow-up Hundred More Years, Battistelli married Christian band percussionist Matthew Goodwin and gave birth to her first child, Matthew Elijah. According to the Hundred More Years songfacts Battistelli chose to title her sophomore record after the track "Hundred More Years" because the tune's subject matter of a couple falling in love and having their first child mimiced her own life. Hundred More Years was released on March 1, 2011.

Francesca Battistelli is no stranger to the stage. Raised by parents immersed in the arts and Broadway, she developed a love of music, theatre, and performance at a young age. But instead of using these talents for applause and accolades, Francesca prefers to point people to something beyond herself --towards hope in Christ. Her soulful piano-pop sound resembles a blend of her music interests -- jazz, rock, gospel and R&B -- woven beautifully together with themes of trust and risk-taking. In a noisy world filled with sounds and images, we cry out for an authentic voice--one who is not afraid to speak truth and purpose to a generation. In singer/songwriter Francesca Battistelli, we have found that voice.
