C                  G         C            G            C Once there was a holy place. Evidence of God’s embrace.
                   G          C                       D CI can almost see mercy’s face, pressed against the veil.
                    G           C               G      CLooking down with longing eyes, mercy must have realized.

            C                       GAnd as the sky grew dark, and the earth began to shake.
       Bm        Am    C       DWith justice no longer in the way!

Chorus:
             G                            DMercy Came a runnin' like a pris’ner set free.
              Em              C           DPast all my failures, to the point of my need.
         C            G                      DWhen the sin that I carried, was all I could see.
           CAnd when I could not reach mercy,
Am           D          G  DMercy came a runnin’ to me.


C                 G            C              G             C Once there was a broken heart. Way to human from the start.
                      G          C                  D CAll the years left it torn apart, hopeless and afraid.
              G             C                   G           CWalls I never meant to build, left this pris’ner unfulfilled
                   G             C                 DFreedom called but even still, it seemed so far away.
      C                          GI was bound by the chains, from the wages of my sin!
Bm          Am            C    DJust when I felt like givin’ in!

Chorus:

             G                            DMercy Came a runnin' like a pris’ner set free.
              Em              C           DPast all my failures, to the point of my need.
         C            G                      DWhen the sin that I carried, was all I could see.
           CAnd when I could not reach mercy,
Am           D          G  Mercy came a runnin’ to me.
