Vibes Web3 Music Competition wk32- Mercy Said No by Cece Winans

Hi Guys, it's a pleasure to be here again.

I’ve actually been struggling between performing for this week and not performing. This is actually because I’ve had a severe voice strain and despite the intake of my regular medication, it doesn’t seem to want to clear off. Nevertheless, I decided to do a song that resonates with the spirit of Easter.
Please pardon me as I had to tweak the key to suit my voice.

Here is my entry for the Vibes Web3 music competition this week. It is a cover of the song “Mercy Said No” by Cece Winans

#Lyrics

I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what he'd have me be, is who I am
As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize his grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
For God so loved the world, that he sent his son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell upon the crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago(Whaoo, no, no, no)
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away(Ayy)
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
