Mercy Said No - Cece Winans

I was just a child when I felt the Savior leading

I was drawn to what I could not understand

And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing

That what He’d have me be is who I am

As I’ve come see the weaker side of me

I’ve realized His grace is what I need

When sin demanded justice for my soul

Mercy said no

I’m not gonna let you go

I’m not gonna let you slip away

You don’t have to be afraid

Mercy said no

Sin will never take control

Life and death stood face to face

Darkness tried to steal my heart away

Thank You, Jesus

Mercy said no

For God so loved the world that He sent His Son to save us

From the cross He built a bridge to set us free

Oh, but deep within our hearts there is still a war that rages

And makes the sacrifice so hard to see

As midnight fell on crucifixion day

The light of hope seemed, oh, so far away

And as evil tried to stop redemption’s flow

Mercy said no

I’m not gonna let you go

I’m not gonna let you slip away

You don’t have to be afraid

Mercy said no

Sin will never take control

Life and death stood face to face

Darkness tried to steal my heart away

Thank You, Jesus

Mercy said no

And now when heaven looks at me

It’s through the blood of Jesus

Reminding me of one day long ago

Mercy said no

I’m not gonna let you go

I’m not gonna let you slip away

You don’t have to be afraid

Mercy said no

Sin will never take control

Life and death stood face to face

Darkness tried to steal my heart away

Thank You, Jesus

Mercy said no

Oh-oh-oh…
