[Verse 1]
Mercy is a sEong, singing to my hBeart
Telling me it's C#mok, come just as you aAre
I never heard a mEelody, like the one they're singing oBver me
And I just wanna sing aC#mlong, 'cause mercy is a sAong
[Verse 2]
Freedom is a cEhoir, swaying back and fBorth
Shining in the sC#mhadow of a stain glassed Sunday moArning
Shouting haEllelujah, yesterday is goBne
Oh freedom is a cAhoir and mercy is a Esong
[Chorus]
Singing C#mohhhAhh, tEhere is a light for every souC#mlA  
ENo matter where you've been just come on C#mhomeA  
ELet all God's children sing aBlong
Hallelujah chains are goAne
Mercy is a sEong
[Verse 3]
EGuilty is a lie, spoken by a Bthief
Saying after whaC#mt you've done, you don't deserve to be frAee
But I can look him in the eEye, and say this time you're wrBong
'Cause guilty is a lAie, oh but mercy is a soEng
[Chorus]
Singing C#mohhhAhh, tEhere is a light for every C#msoulA  
ENo matter where you've been just come on C#mhomeA  
ELet all God's children sing aBlong
Hallelujah chains are goAne
Mercy is a sC#mongB  
[Post-Chorus]
A song of the redAeemed
I want to set free
A glimpse of what wF#maits for you and me
[Bridge]
EHeaven is a mansion, a promise in the skBy
That one day we will be sC#minging with those angels up on Ahigh
That old familiar mEelody, like we've known it all aBlong
Oh heaven is a mansAion and mercy is a soEng
Heaven is a maAnsion and mercy is a soEng
EOh tell me, can you hear it?
[Chorus]
Singing C#mohhhAhh, tEhere is a light for every souC#mlA  
ENo matter where you've been just come on C#mhomeA  
ELet all God's children sing aBlong
Hallelujah chains are goAne
ELet all God's children sing aBlong
Hallelujah chains are goAne
Mercy is a sEong
