This is a strange familiar place
Where I am living
The world that was and what's become
Are not the same
I see the evidence of grace
Without forgetting
How far I've had to come
To get me where I am today

If justice had the only say
Well I would not be here
Cause less than anything
Is more than I deserve
But I can put the past away
There's nothing left to judge
Forgiveness is the final word

Everywhere I turn
I see compassion but I'm learning
I'm just a fallen man
In the land of mercy
Love is free to grow
Where Heaven's healing waters flow
Though I may not understand
I'm living in the land of mercy

It seems I never have to ask
For what I'm given
I see the answer long before I see the need
No longer looking to the past
As just a prison
For what has been helps me remember
What I used to be

Though I may walk through the valley below
I will not fear because I know
who rules this world I'm walking through

Love is free
I'm living in the land of mercy
Tell me what you see
I'm living in the land of mercy
