Moved by mercy

She said “I keep having the same dream
Close my eyes and I´m chasing a younger me
Try to wrap my arms around her
Shield her from the hell that found her
But I´m always just a little too late
I see the tears falling down her face
How come no one protected
The little girl that the world rejected”
Oh, where do you go when you can´t go back
Can´t save the past
And she cries in the middle of the night
“Take me far away now
From this broken place now
Somewhere they can´t hurt me
I wanna be moved by mercy
Jesus, I can´t see You
I just know I need You
Help me start a new life
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
“I used to be a future burning bright
Now I´m just another sleepless night”
All the hurt that you hide behind that door
I´m not gonna let it hurt you anymore
“For so long I thought You abandoned me
Now I´m starting to see things differently”
I´m the one who began a good work in you
And I´m the one who is gonna see it through
I´ll see you through
For so long I felt so unworthy
But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy
So here I stand, a child undeserving
Take My hand and let your heart be moved by mercy
Close my eyes and I´m chasing a younger me
Try to wrap my arms around her
Shield her from the hell that found her
But I´m always just a little too late
I see the tears falling down her face
How come no one protected
The little girl that the world rejected”
Oh, where do you go when you can´t go back
Can´t save the past
And she cries in the middle of the night
“Take me far away now
From this broken place now
Somewhere they can´t hurt me
I wanna be moved by mercy
Jesus, I can´t see You
I just know I need You
Help me start a new life
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
“I used to be a future burning bright
Now I´m just another sleepless night”
All the hurt that you hide behind that door
I´m not gonna let it hurt you anymore
“For so long I thought You abandoned me
Now I´m starting to see things differently”
I´m the one who began a good work in you
And I´m the one who is gonna see it through
I´ll see you through
For so long I felt so unworthy
But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy
So here I stand, a child undeserving
Take My hand and let your heart be moved by mercy
