You Are Mercy

(albüm: All The Lovely Losers - 2007)

I'm a liar, You know it's true
I'm a thief, and a beggar, too
But I've heard You can make me new

There's a stranger I don't want to see
In the mirror staring back at me
He's not the man I hoped he'd be
So help me God, so help me God

You are Mercy
You are Mercy
Dear God have mercy on me

God it's lonely in this crowded street
Where we touch but stay out of reach
And we're all wounded but afraid to bleed

We pray for peace while our hands make war
We've had our fill and still we grab for more
We've forgotten what our hands are for
So help us God, so help us God

You are Mercy
You are Mercy
Dear God have mercy on us
Heaven help us
Please forgive us
Dear God have mercy on us

Let mercy fall like rain to wash
The sidewalks clean
To grow love green
Mercy not just to fall on me
But to set me free
And to flow through me

You are mercy
You are mercy
Dear God have mercy on me
Please forgive me
Heaven help me
Be Your mercy

Through my blinded eyes now see
Through my wounded heart now bleed
With my violent hands now heal
Through my broken life reveal
You are Mercy…
