Mercy’s Crown (Scripture Supported)
Verse 1
Each day I lay my burdens down,
I trade my pride for mercy’s crown.
The cross reminds me I am His,
My only boast — His righteousness.

Oh, I’m not perfect, I’m already gone,
In my weakness, He is strong

📖 Philippians 3:12 — “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal...”
Chorus
I lay me down, down, down,
For mercy’s crown deep down.
The more I fade, He reigns,
Forever Christ remains.

Verse 2
The cross is where I’m laid to rest,

Where striving ends, His love begins,
The Peace of God is where I live.

The grave is not my ending,
It’s where His life begins.
The more I die, the more He reigns,
Forever Christ within.

The tomb is empty, I’m made new,
The blood has spoken, life breaks through.
No fear of death, no guilt, no shame,
I rise to life in Jesus’ name.

📖 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 — “Where, O death, is your victory? ... Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
📖 Romans 8:1 — “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Chains are broken, I am free,
Christ in me, my victory.

I live through Christ, the Risen Son.

📖 Romans 8:11 — “The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you...”

When I die, the more becomes,
The more I fade, the more He Loves.
His spirit lives, alive in me,
Rest in Peace, eternity.
