Mercy

Lord have mercy Our dear daddy left us when we was quite young He said lord have mercy on my daughter and my wicked son Raised by my friends, guess I'm on the road again The one he said would lead me to a dark heaven-less end So lord have mercy on my soul Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go Which way to turn Oh I don't know Lord have mercy On my good for nothing soul My papa weren't no preacher still he spread that word of yours To make up for all the sinning and rebelling without a cause Back when he was young way too young to know The word of God would touch him tell him he's a Rolling Stone So lord have mercy on his soul Lord have mercy whichever way that he rolls Too old to learn Too dumb to know It's a sin to turn your back on the oats that you have sown Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Oh God I love you and I'm grateful for my life Yes I'm grateful that you blessed me with a daughter and a wife But I don't believe my daddy when he says I'll burn in hell 'Cause I don't go to church live by the stories that he tells But if I'm wrong and the self righteous one is right Blame the devil for my lucidness forgive me for my stupidness Have mercy on my soul Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go But I can learn, give me a try Just please have mercy if I don't before I die Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Hallelujah, halle-halle-lujah Big drop in the ocean Hallelujah, halle-halle-lujah Following the motion If I'm mistaken tell me why If I'm forsaken take away these tears I cry For the non-believers I hold so dear Because they helped me in my life when things weren't clear I thought you sent them but if that ain't right Then lord have mercy on my skewed and wayward mind I said I thought you sent them to be my guides Thought the way you works mysterious But if I'm just delirious Have mercy on my soul Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go Lord have mercy on my soul (Big drop in the ocean) Lord have mercy I don't know which way to go (following the motion) I said have mercy on my soul (Big drop in the ocean) Lord have mercy on my good for nothing soul (Following the motion) Lord have mercy...
