Текст песни Mercy's War (Jon Foreman) с переводом

I was looking for excuses

And you offered me my soul

In the name of all my weakness

In the name of Rock & Roll

By your sickness I am healed

'Cause they broke you, I am whole

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

I went looking for the fig leaves

And you asked me what they’re for

I was building up a wall

And you offered me a door

I was hoping for silver spoons

When you handed me a sword

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

Maker is unmade

Love succums to hate

Life himself is slain

Is death the only way?

Is death the only way?

I went looking for religion

Absolutely not a friend

I went looking for ways out

And you showed me the way in

I went looking for a ghost

And instead I found a man

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

'Felt like I was at the end

'Felt like giving up on life

I talked about your mother

And denied you once or twice

Yeah, I plucked out your beard

'Put a sword into your side

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

Life and love are torn

Like a blaze of earthly swords

You cut the final cord

This is mercy’s war

This is mercy’s war

I was chasing after safety

When my world went up in flames

You sought all my defences

Washed my ashes down the drain

'Thought mercy was a stranger

But you called me out by name

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

Your wounds were gaping open

'Couldn't recognize you at first

And all I had to offer you was an insult or a curse

Your blood dripped down like poison

On the nausiated earth

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus

This is mercy’s war

This is mercy’s war

This is mercy’s war

This is mercy’s war

This is mercy’s war

This is mercy’s war

Oh, the wonderful blood of Jesus
