WHen things look the darkest, and things seem hopeless…this song always reminds me of the love and mercy of Christ… and how HIS mercy said NO.
Mercy Said NO -CeCe Winans
I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He have me be, is who I am
As I’ve come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
You don’t have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank you Jesus, Mercy said no
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell on cruxificition day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption’s flow
It’s through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He have me be, is who I am
As I’ve come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
(Chorus)
Mercy said no
I’m not going to let you go
I’m not going to let you
You don’t have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank you Jesus, Mercy said no
For God so loved the world, that He sent His
son to save usFrom the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell on cruxificition day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption’s flow
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
And now when heaven
It’s through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago
(Repeat Chorus)
