As sure as death and taxes
You know I'm gonna let You down
And even though I deserve them
Those stones are still on the ground
So many times You've forgiven me
Even while I was Your enemy
Yeah more than just 7 times 70
I can see it finally
Mercy's not a pretty word
It gets down in the dirt
For better or for worse
And sometimes it's gonna hurt
To love without reserve
But Jesus did it first
And now it's our turn
Now it's our turn
Now it's our turn
Now it's our turn
The gospel sure gets messy
We've all got some things to hide
But there is something beautiful
When we bring it into the light
Mercy's not a pretty word
It gets down in the dirt
For better or for worse
And sometimes it's gonna hurt
To love without reserve
But Jesus did it first
And now it's our turn
Now it's our turn
