Nichole Nordeman - Mercies New Lyrics

Is it fair to say, I was lured away?
By endless distractions, more lovelier attractions then
Fairer still my own free will
Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess I've made again

So I would understand, if you were out of patience
And I would understand, if I was out of chances

Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it's true, you make all your mercies new

The distance left between East and West
Is how far you would come to forget the debt I'd owe
And thrown into the sea, the wicked ways in me
Will never have a chance to wash back no the sand

So I would understand if you would make me pay
I would understand lying in the bed I made again

[Chorus:]
Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it's true, you make all your mercies new

Up comes the sun on every one of us
Gone, gone, gone the guilt and shame that knew your name

[Chorus]
Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it's true, you make all your mercies new
