07. Killing Me with Mercy

Little Bird
by Misty Edwards



 

Verse 1
What are You doing Lord, kneeling in front of me?
I feel indignant Lord, that You’d ever wash my feet
I’ll never let You see the dark and dirty
It’s just too much for me
I know who You are, and I know where I have been
It offends me Lord, that Your knees are bent
I’d rather You be strong and make me pay
But this is too much for me
Chorus
You’re killing me with mercy, I can’t breath
You’re wrecking me with Your kindness, I can’t receive
What am I supposed to do with a God so humble?
It’s breaking me
It’s crushing me
Verse 2
I’d draw a sword for You, I said I’d fight unto the death
I’d lose it all for You, I swore I’m not like the rest
But then the cock crows and I’ve let You down
I can’t face You now… I can’t face You now
Bridge
I’m a fragile stone,
I’m a vow that’s broken,
I’m a rock that’s crumbled at Your feet
But You still want me
You say my love is real, though my love is weak
You still believe, the vows I make, I break, I make, I break
You still want me
Chorus 2
You’re killing me with mercy, I can’t breath
You’re wrecking me with Your kindness, I can’t receive
What am I supposed to do with a God so humble?
It’s breaking me
I’ll just believe
And let You love me

Behind the Song:
"“Killing Me with Mercy”- I wrote this from the perspective of Peter, who I’ve also grown to love because we can all relate to him. Often times when we approach God, we want to bring something to the table and think we need to earn it and work for it, especially if we hit a wall of failure, whether that be sin or a dark night in our soul. But it’s what you do in that hour that defines you as a person and as a believer- the humility and courage it takes to receive mercy from the God you betrayed. In Peter’s case, Christ comes back from the dead, and Peter has the courage to look the God he denied in the eye to accept the fact that he knows he’s loved and known by Him better than he knows himself. I can’t fully describe the emotion that story brings out in me. You’d rather Him scream and shout at you and put you on probation, but His kindness just crushes you! We’re not like that with each other- we make each other pay for our wrongs- but God’s not like that at all." - Misty
