Based on Ann's personal experiences, this song covers the story of two souls who felt disenfranchised and in need of a kind, listening ear. The track also reminds us of the need to focus on mercy and compassionate action when coming upon folks in a crisis or in pain.

Lyrics

MERCY

Verse One:
He was sittin’ on a park bench, staring into space
Talkin’ to himself of another time and place
I sat down beside him, I sat real still
Just tried to send him Light, something he could feel

Chorus:
Cause sometimes you just need a little friendship
And sometimes you just need someone to see what you see
And sometimes you just need some hope to hold to
And sometimes you just need a little Mercy

Verse Two:
She was wanderin’ by the roadside lookin’ kinda lost
The pain on her face spoke of the cost
Of the sorrow and the sadness circling her heart
So I pulled my ride over to catch her in my arms

Chorus:
Cause sometimes you just need a little friendship
And sometimes you just need someone to see what you see
And sometimes you just need some hope to hold to
And sometimes you just need a little Mercy

Bridge:
Father in heaven watch over our souls
Help us to love and forgive as we grow
Forgivin’ each other, forgivin’ ourselves
Sharin’ the Mercy You gave when we met

Chorus:
Cause sometimes you just need a little friendship
And sometimes you just need someone to see what you see
And sometimes you just need some hope to hold to
And sometimes you just need a little Mercy
And sometimes you just need a little Mercy
And sometimes you just need…
A little Mercy…

About the Song: “Mercy” appears on the album, “A Voice for Freedom,” by Ann M. Wolf. The title says it all in one word. Walking in Mercy is one of the values that Jesus emphasized during His time on earth and something we are all called to apply, and by Grace, we can.
