The Hoppers - Living In The Arms Of Mercy Lyrics

I admit I walked too closely to the edge of compromise
And I've even crossed the line a time two
And I understand how Paul could say
Oh God, why do I do the things that I don't wanna do?

But I'm still very much a man
After your own heart
And you alone can win this war
Between light and dark

So I'm living in the arms of mercy
Totally dependent on the grace I don't deserve
Living in the arms of mercy
Lord, I'm down to next to nothing
But I'm dying to be worth Your forgiveness
So I'm living in the arms of mercy

Someday I will rise above it and I'll soar on wings of faith
Till I fly to where my spirit wants to go
And although it seems so far away from where I am
From day to day your peace is in my soul

For now I'm still a traveler
On this journey to your will
So let me take my refuge here
Where hope is sacred still

So I'm living in the arms of mercy
Totally dependent on the grace I don't deserve
Living in the arms of mercy
Lord, I'm down to next to nothing
But I'm dying to be worth Your forgiveness
So I'm living in the arms of mercy

I can't imagine me without
The peace and love you give
And I don't wanna leave the place
Where I can freely live

Living in the arms of mercy
Totally dependent on the grace I don't deserve
Living in the arms of mercy
Lord, I'm down to next to nothing
But I'm dying to be worth Your forgiveness
So I'm living in the arms of mercy

Living in the arms of mercy
Totally dependent on the grace I don't deserve
Living in the arms of mercy
Lord, I'm down to next to nothing
But I'm dying to be worth Your forgiveness
So I'm living in the arms of mercy, mercy, mercy
