Is it fair to say, ?I was lured away??   By endless distractions and lovelier attractions then   Or fairer still, my own free will   Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess I've made again      So I would understand   You were out of patience   And I would understand   I was out of chances      Your mercies are new every morning   So let me wake with the dawn   When the music is through or so it seems to be   Then let me sing a new song, old things gone   Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new      The distance left between East and West   Is how far You would go to forget the debt I'd owe   And thrown into the sea, the wicked ways in me   Will never have a chance to wash back on the sand      So I would understand   If You would make me pay   I would understand   Lying in the bed I made again      Your mercies are new every morning   So let me wake with the dawn   When the music is through or so it seems to be   Let me sing a new song, old things gone   Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new      Up comes the sun   On every one of us   Gone, gone, gone the   Guilt and shame that knew Your name      Your mercies are new every morning   So let me wake with the dawn yeah   When the music is through or so it seems to be   Let me sing a new song, old things gone   Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new   Every day it's true, You make all Your mercies new
