I've seen the darkness
And it saw me
But here in the light
Where the dark can't see
There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me
Now I am found
But once was lost
And there in the gutter
Where the wheels came off
There was a sweet glow of mercy that covered me

It picked me up
And set me right
Brought me day
And killed my night
Mercy's there at every turn
Mercy gives what I can't earn
Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy
Yeah, that sweet glow of mercy
Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me

I've been known to run
But I can't hide
I can't get away
From the light inside
There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me
I have fun
I got fast
But when the pull
Of this life has passed
There will be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

It'll pick me up
And set me right
Bring me day
And kill my night
Mercy's there at every turn
Mercy gives what I can't earn
Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy
Yeah, that sweet glow of mercy
Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me

I'm talking 'bout that sweet glow of mercy
See the sweet glow of mercy
Gonna let that sweet glow of mercy cover me

And if I die before I wake
There's no doubt what soul he'll take
There would be a sweet glow of mercy
Yeah, the sweet glow of mercy
There'll be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me

There will be a sweet glow of mercy
Yeah, a sweet glow of mercy
There'll be a sweet glow of mercy that covers me
I'm living in the sweet glow of mercy
I'm loving that sweet glow of mercy
I'm happy in the sweet glow of mercy that covers me

I'm laughing in the sweet glow of mercy
I'm dancing in the sweet glow of mercy
I'm loving this sweet glow of mercy that covers me

There's such a sweet glow
Such a sweet glow
There is a sweet glow of mercy that covers me
