Mercy
I've been uptown I've been downtown, ragged from the wind and the street sounds Watch the old man begging for a few coins-everybody walks on by
Feel the heat from the grate of the subway, little sparrow wants a crumb on a cold day I'm cursing this dirty world with nothing good to say, trying to find forgiveness a thousand times a day
CHORUS
and it knocks me down, it's kicking/you're bringing me around -I'm begging for the sweet light of Jesus to lift me straight up into the clouds ..... Love and Mercy, Mercy now
Precious angel I am hard to love, I"ve chewed and swallowed too much bad stuff, you picked up my bitter heart from somewhere on this street I didn't have no love to loose when you reached out to me...
CHORUS
