Matthew West - Moved By Mercy Lyrics






She said “I keep having the same dream
Close my eyes and I’m chasing a younger me
Try to wrap my arms around her
Shield her from the hell that found her
But I’m always just a little too late
I see the tears falling down her face
How come no one protected
The little girl that the world rejected”
Oh, where do you go when you can’t go back
Can’t save the past
And she cries in the middle of the night
“Take me far away now
From this broken place now
Somewhere they can’t hurt me
I wanna be moved by mercy
Jesus, I can’t see You
I just know I need You
Help me start a new life
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
“I used to be a future burning bright
Now I’m just another sleepless night”
All the hurt that you hide behind that door
I’m not gonna let it hurt you anymore
“For so long I thought You abandoned me
Now I’m starting to see things differently”
I’m the one who began a good work in you
And I’m the one who is gonna see it through
I’ll see you through
For so long I felt so unworthy
But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy
So here I stand, a child undeserving
Take My hand and let your heart be moved by mercy

    This song has helped me tremendously I was abused all the way from 5 years old to 14 and really not knowing if God cared or if God was listening to my prayers to help me I prayed so many nights Jesus take me away from this place and nothing ever happened until I turn 14 and spoke up Jesus answers prayers in time in his time not ours abuse trauma neglect all of these that as children had to go through it's horrible and terrible but God is a good God just because people want to do evil and have evil desires does not mean that God is evil what man meant for evil God will turn into good we just need to turn to God and take care of him all of our weary and stress I can't say enough how many sleepless nights I've had how many painful memories and dreams of nightmares but God is just no matter the pain

    we live in a fractured creation and we are only human. praise Jesus

  7. 1.... ....

    Little back story about this song... this song was written by a girl who graduated from Mercy Multiplied. I was also a girl you graduated. It's a home that girls from 14-27 can go to for all sorts of things... suicidal tendencies, anorexia, recovering addiction, women who have sold their bodies, women who have aborted or had planned to abort... so much more! It's a place where young girls can find hope when most of their lives they have only known darkness. This song helped me so much while I was there for 8 months.

  8. J.... I....

    This song speaks to me. I have really bad ptsd and God has started a work in me and every time I'm triggered It's like I'm chasing myself as a child trying to find justice for my pain...but then God swoops in and says he is on my side and he will fight my battles. He Will bring the healing. He Will bring the comfort. No one in this world can wash away my past like jesus and only in God can we find a place where the world cant hurt us anymore.

  9. J.... I....

    K.... ....

    KennGaming religion doesn't have to be part of your life.. Just Jesus.

    K.... ....

    +KennGaming Same. I really like Matthew West's song and this one is my favourite. But when it comes to religion and god and all the stuff ... Well, yeah. I just listen to it cause it's so fresh, inspiring and awesome :)

    K.... ....

    Yeah, I "left" Christianity earlier this year, but this CCM rock stuff still gets to me in the biggest way!😱

    Matthew West, thinks that he is God or Jesus?  LOL  Has he got the messiah complex?  He keeps on using the word 'I' instead of God.  LOL

    C.... K....

    Chester King He doesn't think he's God don't you understand it's a song and by saying i he's saying what God said. Like when your writing an essay you copy someone's words and quote it. And stop trolling man it's not funny or cool your making yourself looking real low

    This song put words to my hearts cry to God and my prayer for 2013. After suffering from eating disorders for 15 yrs, I finally began a slow recovery 7 yrs ago. I am finally getting to a better place. I am from the UK and there was no mercy ministries or similar program for me when I was first struggling. It was just me, my bible and God. I didn't even know I had a problem or that I could get help. I am so grateful. "Jesus help me start a new life, I wanna be moved into my future my your mercy!"

  65. a.... ....

    This is such an awesome song! Matthew West has definitely changed many peoples' lives, including mine. :)
