The Weapon Is Mercy

Verse I was holding my grudge like a sword in my hand Every wound, every scar drew a battle line in the sand I was waiting for justice, I was building a wall But You met me in silence, and You let Your mercy fall Pre-Chorus You didn’t flinch when I turned away You didn’t fight like the world would say You broke the rules with grace Chorus I laid down my sword and picked up the cross Where vengeance ends and love paid the cost You forgave first—while I was still wrong Now grace is my anthem, and mercy my song This is the war that the world didn’t see The weapon is mercy The weapon is mercy Verse Every score that I kept was a chain on my soul But You shattered the record, and You made me whole You called me a friend when I was still a foe You changed the game, and You won it with hope Pre-Chorus You didn’t flinch when I nailed You there You whispered love through a gasping prayer You conquered hate with care Chorus I laid down my sword and picked up the cross Where vengeance ends and love paid the cost You forgave first—while I was still wrong Now grace is my anthem, and mercy my song This is the war that the world didn’t see The weapon is mercy The weapon is mercy

Bridge

No more tit for tat, no more keeping score I’ve seen what forgiveness is fighting for It’s not giving in—it’s rising above It’s justice rewired in the fire of love Post-Bridge You changed the rules when You died for me This battle is won through Calvary Chorus I laid down my sword and picked up the cross Where vengeance ends and love paid the cost You forgave first—while I was still wrong Now grace is my anthem, and mercy my song This is the war that the world didn’t see The weapon is mercy The weapon is mercy And it set me free ℗© Velez Music
