“Mercy doesn’t care what you’ve done.” If that’s not a perfect picture of God’s grace, I don’t know what is. You’re failures don’t void His mercy in your life, and your greatest successes can never earn it. I heard this song on the radio this past week and it’s been in my head and on my heart ever since. The lyrics scream with amazing images of God’s grace and mercy.
You’re best friends with the word regret
You’re afraid that your life’s been wasted
So why hope if it’s only gonna let you down
You don’t think people really change
That you’re a mess and you’ll always be the same
And you doubt if you’ll ever get it turned aroundSo (I know) you’ve been running, searching for something
But you’re looking in a place you don’t belong
It’s never too late, you can’t outrun grace
No, Mercy doesn’t care what you’ve done
So Come Home
So Come HomeYou can try to fix your broken empire
And put bricks on a cracked foundation
But you’d be building castles on the sand
There’s power in the blood of Jesus
Your Father’s screaming just come home
He’s reaching out His handsFrom the shadows, From the wrong roads
From the darkness, From the unknown
To redemption, Something beautiful
To a new love, To new HomeCome Home
