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

CHORUS
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

REPEAT CHORUS

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

REPEAT CHORUS (2X)

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