All we see is Your mercy Many times we fail Many times we walk away Many times we don't care about You How do You get us back to You? All we see is Your mercy How do You pick nobodies And make glorious destinies out of them? All we see is Your mercy We are undeserving, unworthy And never would we meet up with Your standards But for Your mercy But for Your mercy But for Your mercy Thank You for Your mercy Thank You for Your mercy We would come never near Your presence We would never, we would never Meet up to Your standards But for Your mercy But for Your mercy We are called holy because of Your mercy We are called righteous because of Your mercy You find in us who You can use All because of Your mercy Lord thank You Thank You for Your mercy Lord You saw our past You deleted it with Your mercy You saw our failures You deleted it with Your mercy Thank You Lord Thank You Lord Thank You Lord Thank You Lord Thank You for mercy Thank You for forgiveness Thank You for mercy You are deserving of all the praise Thank You for mercy Thank You for mercy The mercy you showed The syrophoenician woman The mercy You showed Blind Bartimaeus The mercy You showed The ten lepers Thank You for mercy Thank You for mercy Thank You for mercy The mercy You showed a poor boy like me The mercy You used in rewriting my story Thank You for mercy Thank You for mercy Thank You for mercy And all we came today is to say Thank You Thank You Thank You You are deserving of it all We bless You our God Your name be praised All because of Your mercy Thank You Lord

Moses Bliss - MERCY Feat. Pastor Jerry Eze & Sunmisola Agbebi
Meaning & Inspiration
Moses Bliss spends a lot of time in this track repeating the phrase, "I could have missed my way; I could have fallen on the way side."
It’s the kind of line that sounds comfortable enough in a concert hall, but try dragging it into the front seat of a car parked outside a job center after you’ve just been laid off. When the world is crumbling, the "I could have fallen" observation feels a bit thin. Most of us don't just "miss our way" by some abstract lack of focus; we get pushed off the cliff by bad luck, bad bosses, and the general weight of being human. If grace is just a safety net for people who might have been careless, it feels like Cheap Grace—a nice little cushion for the lucky, but not much help for the person already hitting the pavement.
However, the song shifts gears toward the end, and that’s where things get uncomfortable in a way that actually rings true. There’s a spoken section where Bliss moves past the "I almost fell" rhetoric and hits a harder reality: "Many times we fail. Many times we walk away. Many times we don’t care about You."
That’s a far cry from the greeting-card theology that paints the believer as someone constantly hovering on the brink of a minor mistake. It admits that we aren't just slipping; we are actively turning our backs. It acknowledges the silence of a house where you’re angry at God, the funerals where you don’t feel blessed, and the days you don't even bother to pray.
Psalm 8:4 asks, "What is mankind that you are mindful of them?" Bliss picks up that thread, and for a moment, he drops the hype to ask why God would look at "mortality" and see anything worth keeping. If you’ve ever sat in the wreckage of your own choices—the kind of choices you can’t blame on "missing the way"—you know that simple gratitude doesn't always cut it. You don't need a song about standing; you need to know why you weren't left for dead.
Bliss mentions the "buffeted body" and the "ripped open body" of Christ. That’s the pivot point. It stops being about the singer’s success or his ability to remain upright and becomes about a violent, visceral rescue. It’s not a tidy platitude. It’s the realization that if grace exists, it has to be ugly and costly enough to cover the things we do when we genuinely don't care.
I’m still not sure about the endless repetition—it feels like it’s trying to convince itself of something—but when he stops talking about his own performance and starts talking about the "ripped open body," the song finds a bit of grit. It’s an admission that we don’t meet the standard, and we never will. That’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s the only one that actually works when you’re staring at a ruined life. The rest of it? That’s just noise. But the idea that mercy is the only thing left when you’ve lost the right to stand? That’s worth keeping around.
