First Church Of Mercy

B E G#m E

[Verse 1]
F#                G#m                    E
He saw the ones around him move when he sat down
         F#           G#m          E
As the music softly played “Amazing Grace”
F#             G#m7        E  B        C#m
Last night’s fall off the wagon left bruises on his face
            G#m         F#
So when he felt a hand on his shoulder
      E               D#m                       C#m
He thought he’d hear “come back when you’re sober”
        B                E                    F#
But a friendly voice said “We’re glad you’re here”

[Chorus]
                B
Welcome to the First Church of Mercy
           G#m7
Where the doors of love swing open wide
     E                       B
No matter who you are, no matter what you’ve done
C#m     D#m      E
You can come inside
F#  B
Welcome to the alter of forgiveness
             G#m               F#              E  B
Where the fallen can fall and tears are wiped away
               C#m    D#m        E
Welcome to the First Church of Mercy
        F#                        B
Take a seat on the front row of grace

G#m E

[Verse 2]
F#         G#m                   E
You don’t have to have it all together here
           F#                      G#m          E    F#
There’s a lot of us who’ve been right where you are
       G#m7           E    B         C#m7
We all came in here hurting, broken bruised and scarred
G#m           F#              E                 B
But then the Father reached us with the healing hand of Jesus
C#m        B             E     F#
Now we’re all a part of his family

[Chorus]
                B
Welcome to the First Church of Mercy
           G#m7
Where the doors of love swing open wide
     E                       B
No matter who you are, no matter what you’ve done
C#m     D#m      E
You can come inside
F#  B
Welcome to the alter of forgiveness
             G#m               F#              E  B
Where the fallen can fall and tears are wiped away
               C#m    D#m        E
Welcome to the First Church of Mercy
        F#                        B
Take a seat on the front row of grace

[Bridge]
E
We’re not here to judge you,
B
you can find that anywhere
C#m         B
But we’re called to love you,
E         F#
you are welcome here

[Chorus]
         B
In the First Church of Mercy
           G#m7
Where the doors of love swing open wide
     E                       B
No matter who you are, no matter what you’ve done
C#m    D#m       E
You can come inside
F#  B
Welcome to the alter of forgiveness
             G#m               F#              E  B
