Seven Acts of Mercy (with Louise Marshall)

Seven Acts of Mercy (with Louise Marshall) - Jools Holland/Louise Marshall

Water for the thirsty

The hungry are fed

Clothe the naked

Bury the dead

Harbour the stranger

Visit those in need

Minister to the prisoner

There is no greater deed

Seven acts of mercy

Six are not enough

Seven ways to show you care for everyone you love

Seven times as stronger

Every second of the day

But if there's one thing to remember

Show some mercy everyday

Can you give to a taker

Can you take what you give

Can you love someone who hates you

And you forget and can you forgive

Charity's outdated

Replaced by lust and greed

Break

Out the tides are sailing

We always take more than we need

Seven acts of mercy

Six are not enough

Seven ways to show you care for everyone you love

Seven times as stronger

Every second of the day

But if there's one thing to remember

Show some mercy everyday

But if there's one thing to remember

Show me some mercy everyday

You

If there's one thing to remember

Show me some mercy every

Day
