Moved By Mercy – Matthew West
Chords by Paul Cherry
 
C#m
She said “I keep having the same dream 
A
Close my eyes and I’m chasing a younger me 
E
Try to wrap my arms around her 
F#m
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” 

A               B                    C#m
Oh, where do you go when you can’t go back 
               E
Can’t save the past 
        A                         B
And she cries in the middle of the night 


CHORUS
            C#m
“Take me far away now 
                A
From this broken place now 
                     E
Somewhere they can’t hurt me 
                    B
I wanna be moved by mercy 
              C#m
Jesus, I can’t see You 
             A
I just know I need You
                E
Help me start a new life 
                 F#m
Let my heart be moved by mercy” 


C#m
“I used to be a future burning bright 
A
Now I’m just another sleepless night” 
E
(All the hurt that you hide behind that door 
F#m
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 
F#m                                A
And I’m the one who is gonna see it through 
             B
I’ll see you through) 


CHORUS
            C#m
“Take me far away now 
                A
From this broken place now 
                     E
Somewhere they can’t hurt me 
                    B
I wanna be moved by mercy 
              C#m
Jesus, I can’t see You 
             A
I just know I need You
                E
Help me start a new life 
                 F#m
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
C#m  A  E  B (x2)

       A                 B
For so long I felt so unworthy                   
          E                               A
(But in My arms all your shame is moved by mercy) 
          A                B
So here I stand, a child undeserving 
         E                                    A
(Take My hand and let your heart be moved by mercy)


CHORUS 2
 “Take me far away now 
                  (I’ll take you far away)
From this broken place now 
                   (From every broken place)
Somewhere they can’t hurt me             
I wanna be moved by mercy 
(REPEAT)

Jesus, I can’t see You 
                 (I’m watching over you)                              
I just know I need You
                 (I’m gonna carry you)
Help me start a new life 
Let my heart be moved by mercy”
