Many Different Roads Album

The mighty fortress walls
I have built around my foolish heart
How they crumble and they fall
As I surrender all
To mercy's arms

Bathed in holy rain
Cleansed from sinner's bitter stains
Only love remains
And I'm forever changed
By mercy's arms


Sweet the surrender
Sweet the embrace
Sweet the forgiveness
To one forever undeserving of his grace
Safely encircled
Rested and warmed
Sweet is the taste
Of love that awaits in mercy's arms

In the light, the life, the way
Is the key unlocking every chain
Sin is lost and freedom gained
The price was paid
By mercy's arms



When I reach my journey's end
How I hope that He will call me friend
And reach out for me again
Forever spend
In mercy's arms

So many times we walk through life
Never caring 'bout the other guy
Still we hope things will change
But if you look inside their eyes
You'll find the kids have grown as cold as ice
Now we must make a change

Oh, Lord, help me to see
What in the world can change
What's happening to you and me


If we open our eyes
Maybe we can find a change in tomorrow
Maybe it's already written in the sky
If we open our eyes
Maybe we can finally change the world's sorrows

Maybe it's already been here all the time
Open up your eyes
So much to do and there's no time
So much to say and nothing's on their minds
We need to make a change
We need to open up our hearts
And help a brother make a new start
We really need to make a change

Oh, Lord, help us to see
I know that You can give the world
Peace and harmony
