Lyrics: Francesca Battistelli. Hundred More Years. Motion Of Mercy.

I was poor, I was weak
I was a definition of a spiritually
Bankrupt condition so in need of help

I was unsatisfied, hungry and thirsty
When you rest to my side
So unworthy still you gave yourself away

That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

Now I'm filled by love that calls me to action
I was empty before, now I'm drawn to compassion
And to give myself away

That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

Living for the lost, living to be heard
No matter what they'll toss
Like you love me first
That's the motion of mercy, oh

God give ma strength to give something for nothing
I wanna be a glimpse of the kingdom
That's coming soon

That's the motion of mercy
Changing the way and the why we are
That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart

Living for the lost, living to be heard
No matter what they'll toss
Like you love me first

That's the motion of mercy
Moving my heart
Oh, to give yourself away
To give it all away
That's the motion of mercy

Battistelli, Francesca
