Moved By Mercy – Matthew West
Chords by Paul Cherry
C#m
She said “I keep having the same dream
A
Close my eyes and I’m chasing a younger me
E
Try to wrap my arms around her
F#m
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”
A B C#m
Oh, where do you go when you can’t go back
E
Can’t save the past
A B
And she cries in the middle of the night
CHORUS
C#m
“Take me far away now
A
From this broken place now
E
Somewhere they can’t hurt me
B
I wanna be moved by mercy
C#m
Jesus, I can’t see You
A
I just know I need You
E
Help me start a new life
F#m
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
C#m
“I used to be a future burning bright
A
Now I’m just another sleepless night”
E
(All the hurt that you hide behind that door
F#m
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
F#m A
And I’m the one who is gonna see it through
B
I’ll see you through)
CHORUS
C#m
“Take me far away now
A
From this broken place now
E
Somewhere they can’t hurt me
B
I wanna be moved by mercy
C#m
Jesus, I can’t see You
A
I just know I need You
E
Help me start a new life
F#m
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
C#m A E B (x2)
A B
For so long I felt so unworthy
E A
(But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy)
A B
So here I stand, a child undeserving
E A
(Take My hand and let your heart be moved by mercy)
CHORUS 2
“Take me far away now
(I’ll take you far away)
From this broken place now
(From every broken place)
Somewhere they can’t hurt me
I wanna be moved by mercy
(REPEAT)
Jesus, I can’t see You
(I’m watching over you)
I just know I need You
(I’m gonna carry you)
Help me start a new life
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
