Power wrapped in compassion
Thundering mercy falls
Your voice shakes the mountains, splits the seas in two
Yet whispers to the broken, "I still care for you"
You hold the lightning in Your hands, the storm obeys Your call
But chose to wear a crown of thorns and die to save us all
Your strength is in Your gentleness, Your glory in Your grace
Thundering mercy falling down on every searching face
Thundering mercy, power wrapped in compassion
You could crush the world but chose a different action
You bend down low to lift us high, Your love is fierce and free
Thundering mercy, hallelujah, washing over me
Thundering mercy, Lord, You set the captives free
You spoke the stars into the night, breathed life into the clay
Yet knelt to wash the feet of men who'd run away
Your justice like a fire burns, consuming every wrong
But mercy triumphs over all, that's why we sing this song
You're mighty as a warrior, yet tender as a friend
Your thundering mercy reaches out again and again
Thundering mercy, power wrapped in compassion
You could crush the world but chose a different action
You bend down low to lift us high, Your love is fierce and free
Thundering mercy, hallelujah, washing over me
Thundering mercy, praise Him, You set the captives free
Thank You Jesus, thundering mercy falls
Power wrapped in compassion, yes Lord
Thundering mercy, amen
