When my life was falling away
And dark water surrounded me
There were times I felt forsaken
In the depths of the roaring sea

But You hold me in Your hand
You have control of everything
Put my feet back on solid ground
When You hear my desperate plea
And when I call, You answer

In Your mercy You answer me
Giving me life and giving me peace
Opening doors and creating new possibilities
Oh, Your mercy, Your mercy is beyond belief

Lord, You gave me another chance
Even though I tried to run from You
And by Your grace I found redemption
It's who You are and what You do

You hold me in Your hand
You have control of everything
Put my feet back on solid ground
When You hear my desperate plea
And when I call, You answer

In Your mercy You answer me
Giving me life and giving me peace
Opening doors and creating new possibilities
Oh, Your mercy, Your mercy...

Oh, Your kind compassion, Your faithful forgiveness
Your mercies are new every morning
Your patience and power, Your love everlasting
Your mercies are new every morning
And when I call, You answer

In Your mercy You answer me
Giving me life and giving me peace
Opening doors and creating new possibilities
Oh, Your mercy, Your mercy is beyond belief
Oh, Your mercy, Your mercy is beyond belief
