Lyrics

I am the woman at the well, I am the harlot
I am the scattered seed that fell along the path
I am the son who ran away
And I am the bitter son who stayed

My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me
You took my sin and wrapped me in your robe and your ring
My God, my God
Why hast thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy and the song
Song I sing

I am the angry man who came to stone the lover
I am the woman there ashamed before the crowd
I am the leper who gave thanks
And I am the nine who never came

My God, my God
Why hast Thou accepted me
You took my sin and wrapped me in your robe and your ring
My God, my God
Why hast thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy and the song
Song I sing

You are the bringer of the moon and all the seasons
You are the singer of the tune that calls the stars

My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me
You took my sin and wrapped me in your robe and your ring
My God, my God
Oh, why hast thou accepted me?
When all my love was vinegar to a thirsty king

My God, my God
Oh, why hast Thou accepted me?
It's a mystery of mercy and the song
Song I sing
Song I sing
