Mercy Music (Come Home)
[Verse 1]
This song is written for backsliders / and those who fell off the road like bad drivers / who think they’re too gross for mercy / and so-so unworthy / and think the Christian walk’s a hopeless journey / perhaps like me you try to smother conviction / by lust or drugs or some other addiction / or you deny your disgusting condition / or think to turn back is too much of a mission / I know how you feel / like what’s the point of trying / so you avoid the I AM but you know that He’s real / you’re pursuing sin although it will kill / and it’s ruining you and no you won’t be fulfilled / He won’t disown you / your only hope He is still / cause Christ groaned on the hill when He atoned for your guilt / there His love shown and revealed / so come be washed whiter than snow by the flow that He spilt / for all your wrong sin / the Lord is good and forgiving / abounding in love to all who call upon Him / however bad your doubts / He says (whoever comes to Me I’ll never ever cast you out) /
[Bridge]
If you’re God’s son or perhaps you’re His daughter / and like a lost sheep you so happened to wander / after every lust you could imagine or conjure / after every greed you could fathom or ponder / passing pleasures look how fast it was squandered / I know you feel like you been captured and conquered / and you done trampled on His Majesty’s honor / and you know how He has to cast off a scoffer / but recall Jesus took the wrath and the slaughter / but recall Jesus took the wrath and the slaughter / He already took the wrath and the slaughter for you / so you could come back to the Father /
[Hook]
Come home (X5) / won’t you come back to the Father? / come home (X5) / yeah come back to your Father /
[Verse 2]
In quick sand I was stuck / from my tangents of lust / till I seen that the blood of the Lamb is enough / and if I was oppressed under the guilt of my sin / then how many other of His children are pinned? / discouraged and despondent / in rampant bondage / in sin’s grip like anacondas / consistency they just can’t accomplish / wounded on the sidelines with a damaged conscience / convinced by Satan’s roaming legions / that they’re only pagan / hopeless heathens / and therefore Jesus won’t receive them / cause they have no righteousness / no achievement / but they’re really seeking / to make their own appeasement / when in reality the only pleasing / atonement to God is Jesus’ groans and bleeding / so let that be the only hope you’re pleading / and you don’t need to first work your way back / and nope you won’t please Him with your personal lash / yeah it’s true you deserve to be smashed / but Christ already averted the curse and the wrath /
[Verse 3]
If nothing convinces you to come to your senses / but you run from Him / I pray your dungeon of sin gets / so uncomfortable and empty / that you run to the sinless Son who gives abundant forgiveness / cause it isn’t whole / your secret heart it’s true / within your soul / the deepest part of you / I know your spiritual stomach is starving / so come back to Christ and He’ll abundantly pardon / God put an eternal gap in your heart / so you going after sin is absurdity / cause it only leaves you trapped in the dark / so come be filled by Him who is eternity / so peep it homie / alhough He is holy / behold Jesus who's so meek and lowly / I too am weak / but yo He upholds me / don’t trust Christ and self / no Jesus only / why return to Christ? / I’m sharing some reasons / sin is a lie / Christ swears His allegiance / sin is our cancer / but He bears our diseases / see infinite grace / come cherish its freeness / receive all the merits of Jesus / and on Judgment Day you’ll be there in His cleanness / while you're far off / the Father is chasing / to receive you in His arms / in His awesome embracing / His Son’s robe covers all your mistakes and / He slaughtered the best Calf on the cross in your place kid / admit His Law you were breaking / come as a jacked-up sinner it’s the only qualification / I should be the first to witness / that Christ Jesus came into this world for the worst of sinners / say (while revealing Your cross to me) / Hosea 14:4 (heal my apostasy) /
