Mercy Now - Mary Gauthier
Capo 2
G C
My father could use a little mercy now
D G
The fruits of his labor fall and rot slowly on the ground
G C
His work is almost over, it won't be long and he won't be around
D G
I love my father, he could use some mercy now
My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom, he's shackled to his fears and doubts
The pain that he lives in is almost more than living will allow
I love my brother, and he could use some mercy now
My church and my country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit that's going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down
I love my church and country, and they could use some mercy now
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, well they'll do anything 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 don't deserve it but we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance, dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
