We Are Messengers - Now It's Our Turn Lyrics

As sure as death and taxes

You know I'm gonna let You down

And even though I deserve them

Those stones are still on the ground

So many times You've forgiven me

Even while I was Your enemy

Yeah more than just 7 times 70

I can see it finally

Mercy's not a pretty word

It gets down in the dirt

For better or for worse

And sometimes it's gonna hurt

To love without reserve

But Jesus did it first

And now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

The gospel sure gets messy

We've all got some things to hide

But there is something beautiful

When we bring it into the light

Mercy's not a pretty word

It gets down in the dirt

For better or for worse

And sometimes it's gonna hurt

To love without reserve

But Jesus did it first

And now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Are we ready to turn the other cheek?

Are we ready to bless our enemies?

Are we ready to love like Jesus?

Are we ready to give it all for free?

Are we ready to be a family?

Are we ready to love like Jesus?

Mercy's not a pretty word

It gets down in the dirt

For better or for worse

And sometimes it's gonna hurt

To love without reserve

But Jesus did it first

And now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Now it's our turn

Are we ready to turn the other cheek?

Are we ready to bless our enemies?
