Mercy Now Lyrics
Mercy Now - SJ McArdle
My father
Could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over
It won't be long and he won't be around
I love my father
He could use some mercy now
My brother
Could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom
He's shackled to his fears and his doubts
The pain that he lives in
Is almost more than living will allow
I love my bother and he
Could use some mercy now
My church and my country
Could use
A little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit
That's going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful
Who follow them down
I love my church and country and they could use
Some mercy now
Could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race
Towards another mushroom cloud
People in power
They'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life and life itself
Could use some mercy now
Yeah we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it
But we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance
Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
