Got carried away, what else can I say?

I should have known better

My needs got the better of me.

The fierceness of my needs it got

the better of me.

But God saw what's better in me.

He showed me the better part of me.

Running on empty, filled with self-pity.

I didn't know better For worse or for better My fears got the better of me

The dose of my fears it taught,

The better of me But God watched what withered in me

He mended the bitter heart in me.

Me, far wider than the ocean, Richer, more vast than the sea, Beyond the wildest notion, That's God's tender mercy.

Beyond every treasure, lest we forget, mercy beyond measure, mercy beyond regret, the tender mercy of God.

The tender mercy.

Hello?

Resuming our dance Another shot, a second chance

I hope we'll know better For worse or for better

Your love brought the better in me.

The downpour of your love it bore

What's better than me?

God glimpsed what glittered in me

He showed me the deeper part of me.

Deeper, wider than the ocean, richer, more vast than the sea, beyond the wildest notion.

That's God's tender mercy.

Beyond every treasure, blessed we forget, mercy beyond measure, mercy beyond regret, the tender mercy of God.

The tender mercy.

Oh, God.

Like the sky high above it hovers over you

Like the dewfall below, it spreads to cover you.

Like the wind all around, His mercy seeks and discovers you.

Mercy never fading

Mercy everlasting.

Mercy all enduring, the tender mercy

Oh God.

the tender mercy oh

God.
