[Verse 1]
G   D      Em E7
I’m living proof
             Am      G        D
Of what the mercy of God can do
        G                  D
If you knew me then, you’d believe
me now
    Em                   E7
He turned my whole life upside down
         Am        G      C5/G
Took the old and He made it new
                      Am
That's just what the mercy
    G      C
of God can do

[Chorus]
         C                G
Now I'm alive to tell the story
     D      Em
How I've overcome
       C5/G         G
By His goodness and mercy
         D           Em
And the power of the blood
           C              G
And I'm so glad that my freedom
        D                 Em
Wasn't based on what I've done
         C5/G         G
But His goodness and mercy
         D            G
And the power of the blood

[Verse 2]
G        D   Em  E7
I thought I deserved
     Am        G         D
To be six feet beneath the earth
             G
For all the things I've done and
    D
the things I've said
    Em              E7
The choices made that I regret
   Am       G       C5/G
Oh, I would still be lost
                Am     G  C
Oh, but for the mercy of God

[Interlude]
        C            G
There's power in His blood
                       C
I know 'cause it healed me
                              G
Yeah, I know 'cause it changed me
There's wonder-working
             C
power in the blood

             G
And was the Cross meant for me
         C
That my Savior carried?

Where my sin lay buried?
