Mary Gauthier - Mercy Now Lyrics
My father could use a little mercy nowThe fruits of his laborFall and rot slowly on the groundHis work is almost overIt won't be long and he won't be aroundI love my father, and he could use some mercy nowMy brother could use a little mercy nowHe's a stranger to freedomHe's shackled to his fears and doubtsThe pain that he lives in isAlmost more than living will allowI love my bother, and he could use some mercy nowMy church and my country could use a little mercy nowAs they sink into a poisoned pitThat's going to take forever to climb outThey carry the weight of the faithfulWho follow them downI love my church and country, and they could use some mercy nowEvery living thing could use a little mercy nowOnly the hand of grace can end the raceTowards another mushroom cloudPeople in power, wellThey'll do anything to keep their crownI love life, and life itself could use some mercy nowYeah, we all could use a little mercy nowI know we don't deserve itBut we need it anyhowWe hang in the balanceDangle 'tween hell and hallowed groundEvery single one of us could use some mercy nowEvery single one of us could use some mercy nowEvery single one of us could use some mercy now
