Mercy is still running to me! I remember the day that I was freed from the chains of my sin; what a glorious day! Jeremiah proclaimed:"The steadfast love of Yahweh never ceases, His mercies are endless and new every morning; great is Your faithfulness"!
Randy Phillips, the short guy with glasses, if he was never pleased with his group before, he was pleased now! Shawn, the tall bawd guy, is always good, but to have a lead singer who is a passionate and consistent like Dan Dean, VERY rare!
Once there was a holy place Evidence of God's embrace And I can almost see mercy's face Pressed against the veil Looking down with longing eyes Mercy must have realized That once His blood was sacrificed Freedom would prevail And as the sky grew dark And the earth began to shake With justice no longer in the way [Chorus:] Mercy came running Like a prisoner set free Past all my failures to the point of my need When the sin that I carried Was all I could see And when I could not reach mercy Mercy came running to me Once there was a broken heart Way to human from the start And all the years left it torn apart Hopeless and afraid Walls I never meant to build Left this prisoner unfulfilled Freedom called but even still It seemed so far away I was bound by the chains From the wages of my sin Just when I felt like giving in [Chorus: Sometimes I still feel so far So far from where I really should be He gently calls to my heart Just to remind me [Chorus:]
Believe it or not, 1995. My brother, since I discovered this song, it has blessed my spirit as well. Dan Dean, the lead singer with blonde hair (then) co-wrote this song after reaffirming his faith upon CHRIST. Randy and Shawn are great singers, but you can tell by the passion of Dan, this is personal. Mercy came running to all us prisoners of sin!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for your testimony in your song. GOD'S SPECIAL MERCY AND HIS LOVE, HIS BLOOD HE SHED FOR OUR SINS.

Once there was a holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can almost see mercy's face
Pressed against the veil
Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail
And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way
[Chorus:]
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me
Once there was a broken heart
Way to human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid
Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away
I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in
[Chorus:
Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me
[Chorus:]
❤❤
Love them ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome! Just plain awesome!
Such a classic! 😇

I'd like to know what year this was! Seems like this song has been touching my spirit for decades!
