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
