Andrew Peterson
Mystery of Mercy
[Verse 1]
Well, I am the woman at the well, I am the harlot
I am the scattered seed that fell along the path
I am the son who ran away
I am the bitter son who stayed

[Chorus]
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me?
You took my sin and wrapped me in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song, song I sing

[Verse 2]
I am the angry men who came to stone the lover
I am the woman there ashamed before the crowd
Well, I am the leper who gave thanks
And I am the nine who never came

[Chorus]
My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me?
You took my sin and wrapped me in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song, the song I sing
[Bridge]
You are the bringer of the moon and all the seasons
You are the singer of the tune that calls the stars

[Chorus]
My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me?
You took my sin and wrapped me in
Your robe and Your ring
My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me?
When all my love was vinegar
To a thirsty king
My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy
And the song, the song I sing
The song I sing
