Here is a little bit older song that has a great message.


Phillips, Craig, and Dean
Mercy Came Running


Once there was a holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can almost see mercy's face
Pressed against the veil



Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail



And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way



Chorus:
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me



Once there was a broken heart
Way too human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid



Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away



I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in



Chorus
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me



Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me



Chorus
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me
