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 till it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like you loved me first
That's the motion of mercy, ohGod 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 till it hurts
No matter what the cost
Like you love me firstThat's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Oh, to give yourself away
To give it all away
That's the motion of mercy
