Crying Out For Mercy

Your mercy Lord

O your mercy Lord

I cry out to you

For your mercy Lord

My cries echo throughout my soul

On the edge or the ridge

Screaming out your name

Why don’t I hear your voice

Your mercy Lord

O your mercy Lord

I cry out to you

For your mercy Lord

Where I’ve been invades my mind

The hurt inside that dwells

The marks that prove the pain

Where were you then

Your mercy Lord

O your mercy Lord

I cry out to you

For your mercy Lord

Breathe your words into me again

Rushing like the wind

Hold me in tight embrace

Show me you’re here

Your mercy Lord

O your mercy Lord

I cry out to you

For your mercy Lord

I love your mercy

I love your mercy

I love your mercy

Healing me inside

Hold me in your mercy Lord
