I wrote my lyrics and melody to this song after listening to my pastor speak about 'Mercy'. That sermon left me thinking about mercy in my own life.

Story behind the song

My friend Melissa is singing lead and harmony vocals.   I have re-composed the music to the song, but I do not have a track for it at this time.

Lyrics

Mercy Fell on Me 

VERSE 1:
I was consumed by fire from Satan's tongue,
paralyzed by guilt, unable to run,
destined to spend eternity in agony ablaze,
far from God's presence all of my days.

PRE-CHORUS:
I felt God's love unleashed,
the moment mercy fell on me.

CHORUS:
Mercy fell on me,
quenching the flames of sin,
when at the cross love arose again;
taking my blame away
for a price I should have paid,
when mercy,
mercy fell on me.

VERSE 2:
I'm redeemed by Christ, the lamb who was slain.
Unmerited pardon has broken my chains.
No inferno can hold me in captivity,
with the living water flowing through me.

PRE-CHORUS:
I was reborn, reprieved,
the moment mercy fell on me.

CHORUS:
Mercy fell on me,
quenching the flames of sin,
when at the cross love arose again;
taking my blame away
for a price I should have paid,
when mercy,
mercy fell on me.

BRIDGE:
I was burning in sin
cast from God's sight
I was begging for mercy
when he heard my cry
He showered me with
his love unfailing
I testify to his
mercy prevailing

CHORUS:
Mercy fell on me,
quenching the flames of sin,
when at the cross love arose again;
taking my blame away
for a price I should have paid,
when mercy,
mercy fell on me,
fell on me.

WOW!
Mercy fell on me, quenching the flames of sin, 
when at the cross love arose again; taking my blame away 
for a price I should have paid, when mercy, 
mercy fell on me. 
WOW!
