Lyrics

I’m a troubled child who needs shepherding
With a rod and staff when I’m wrestling
Make me lie down where the grass is green
Lead me by still waters when I kick and scream
In the waiting there is knowing that the stillness brings
So the song bird sings with its broken wings
The healing keeps hurting like a surgery
There’s purpose in the pain that the surgeon sees
Mercy
I didn’t know that this would hurt me
But now I know that it is worth it
Lord help me know that it’s your mercy
Lord help me know
Verse 2:
I’m the weakest branch without many leaves
Still you hold me back and you cut me deep
Will I only grow when I’m on my knees
Is the dirt and dust where your Spirit breathes
Do I see your face only when I bleed
When it hurt like hell was it heavenly
I believed the lie you weren’t good to me
Pain it filled my eyes and I couldn’t see
Mercy
I didn’t know that this would hurt me
But now I know that it is worth it
Lord help me know that it’s your mercy
Lord help me know
Understanding can’t go where you want me to be
So I burn it all up as an offering
From the ash you will make some beautiful things
Like a garment of praise and the shoes of peace
I put it all on—run around in the streets
Saying look at my scars do you know what they mean
I might be running with a limp, but I’m finally free
I didn’t know back then oh but now I see
Mercy
I didn’t know that this would hurt me
But now I know that it is worth it
Lord help me know that it’s your mercy
Lord help me know
