Before the morning breaks the day
Death will have its way in me
My sin is always chasing me
Always pulling me down
But there's a world outside of me
It's larger than my life
A world where dawn is waking me
So open up my eyes
To mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising
Before the evening fades away
Death will have its way in me
My sin like gravity
Is always pulling me down
But there's a hope outside of me
It's larger than my life
A hope where love is waking me
So open up my eyes
To mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising, oh
Light is breaking like the dawn
And love is singing healing songs
Light is breaking like the dawn
And love is singing healing songs
Mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising, oh
Mercy rising, oh
