Matthew waiting, sittin' by the sea
Jesus called, and said, "Come and follow me."
The sinners celebrated, that he had been set free
The scribes and the teachers scorned their company
So go find out, go find out what this means
Jesus told the self-righteous Pharisees
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice to me"
So go find out, go find out what this means
The starved disciples eat their grain from their hands
All the scribes can see is a broken command
And I want your lovingkindness, not your disbelieving demands
For your mercy completes all the commands
So go find out, go find out what this means
Jesus told the self-righteous Pharisees
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice to me"
So go find out, go find out what this means

va low zavach (and not sacrifice)
kee hesed hapatz tee (For mercy I desire)

Go find out, go find out what this means
Jesus told the self-righteous Pharisees
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice to me"
So go find out, go find out what this means
Go find out, go find out what this means
Go find out, go find out what this means
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice to me"
Go find out, go find out what this means
