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…

Artist Notes: 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.
