Mercy Now

My father could use a little mercy now. The fruit of his labour falls and rots slowly on the ground. His work is almost over. It wont be long and he wont be around. I love my father but he could use some mercy now. My mother, could use a little mercy now. Shes a stranger to freedom, shackled fo her fears and her doubts. The pain that she lives in is almost more than living will allow. I love my mother and she can use some mercy now. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh My church and my country could use a little mercy now. They sank into a poison pit. Its gonna take forever to climb out. They bear the weight of friends and nations they pressed down. I love my church and country but they could use some mercy now. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Every living thing could use a little mercy now. Only the hand of grace could stay the pace, of natures rage against us now. People in power will, do what they can to keep their crown. I love life and life itself could use some mercy now. Yeah we all could use a little mercy now I know we dont deserve it but we need it anyhow We hang in the balance dangled between hell and hallowed ground. Yeah every single one of us could use some mercy now. Every single one of us could use some mercy now Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
