Phil Wickham is at his core a humble and sincere artist who writes songs and worships God using the medium of music. It is with that brush that he paints images of a loving and creative God across the canvases of listeners’ hearts and minds.
Although the evidence of this gift was apparent on Wickham’s previous releases as well as his self released independent record, it has never been clearer and more developed than on the twelve tracks off his sophomore Simple Records album Cannons.
Mercy Lyrics
Made from the dust and breathed into life
He stood unashamed with a fire in His eyes
The image of God walking upon the world
All of the earth was under His feet
Except for the fruit from a forbidden tree
He took a taste and that’s how he breaks the world
He cried Mercy, Mercy
He broke the whole world with the fruit of a tree
Have mercy
Heaven to Earth came down from on high
With Hope in His name and a fire in His eyes
The fullness of God walking upon the world
He said He was love then proved it with blood
And rose from the dead to prove He was God
And that’s what it takes for one man to save the world
Oh such Mercy, Mercy
He saved the whole world when He hung on a tree
Such mercy
Now here inside of our skin and bones
Heaven above is making it’s home
The kingdom of God living upon the world
To love like He loves and give like he gives
To tell the story that makes dead men live
and that’s what it takes if we’re gonna to change the world
Mercy, Mercy
Your love is a song and You sing over me
Mercy
