You took away my ball and chain You take away all my shame You still love me when I let you down You promised me you'd always be around
And I know you love me And I feel the need to thank you
Life's unfolding like a love letter Under your mercy, under your mercy, Jesus I could find my shelter forever Under your mercy, under your mercy, mercy Lord
On my own I slip and fall Left alone I'd lose it all But instead, I lift my head and there I find Faith and hope and love and peace that blows my mind
And I know you love me And I feel the need to thank you
Life's unfolding like a love letter Under your mercy, under your mercy, Jesus I could find my shelter forever Under your mercy, under your mercy, mercy Lord
Now that the Holy Ghost is haunting me I'm a child of light eternally
2X Life's unfolding like a love letter Under your mercy, under your mercy, Jesus I could find my shelter forever Under your mercy, under your mercy, mercy Lord
