can i breathe free air again?

the fragrant breezes of a better land

where every note is paved with gold

where hallelujah anthems don't grow old

i want to learn to sing the way they sing before you

listen - echoes of mercy from our hearts

sound like the songs they sing in heaven

listen - the echoes of mercy from our heart

sung from the lips of the forgiven

remember that you made me out of dust

it's only in your promise that i put my trust

it's of your mercy that i sing

it's of my life i make an offering

i want to learn to live the way they live before you

listen - echoes of mercy from our hearts

sound like the songs they sing in heaven

listen - the echoes of mercy from our heart

sung from the lips of the forgiven

so as you hold the universes

as you ride upon the wings of the wind

let me speak and know you're listening

i'll bring an offering of everything in me

listen - echoes of mercy from our hearts

sound like the songs they sing in heaven

listen - the echoes of mercy from our heart

sung from the lips of the forgiven
