Mercy Lyrics

What did we come out to see

A reed shaken by the wind?

As magical as God may be

He is not a magic trick

We speak with pride upon our lips

And the chatter of a fool

But should God converse with donkeys

Or take communion with a mule?

Can this tongue praise God above

While it exalts the name of Pharaoh?

Who can wield a wooden sword

Or shoot a crooked arrow?

Rip the womb wide open

And dash my baby on the rocks

If I've conceived deceit and lies

And evil in my thoughts

Mary, Mary, mother of God

Do you sit as His right hand?

If I may request of thee

That I might come before the Lamb

So that my shaky legs may break

So that I fall upon my face

And plead for mercy

Have mercy on me

In truth, does it endure forever?

When the seven turns into eight?

The infinite calls to my heart

And beckons unto my name

And how could I live if I never forgive?

Have mercy, have mercy on me
