Mercy Over Mirrors
Yeah (mmm)
Come just as you are
You don't gotta clean up your life to make the start
Just step through the doorway
and bring Him your heart
He takes the broken and rewrites the script
Lifting the soul that was battered and slipped
He turns a whore right
into a housewife
Changing the rhythm and sparking a new life
Come as you are,
He sees the design
Past the outer shell,
deep in the mind (yeah) Man looks at the face,
judges the frame
But God sees your potential and whispers your name
A thief is transformed to a praising tambourine Shaking off dirt,
wash the conscience clean
A drug dealer stands as a deacon in grace A murderer sent
as a missionary to the place
No matter the stain or the weight of the crime His mercy
is meeting you right in your time
Man looks on the outside
God looks on the inside out (inside out) Wash away the desire,
wash away the doubt
Purity calling
from desires of the earth
Trade the illusion
for the beauty of birth
He doesn't need a polished veneer
Just bring Him your baggage,
your shame, and your fear
From the inside out He is making you whole
Come as you are,
He sees the design Past the outer shell,
deep in the mind (yeah) Man looks at the face,
judges the frame
But God sees your potential and whispers your name
He loves you from the
inside out
(inside out)
Just come as you are Yeah
