For Mercy

[Verse One]
I knelt down before the Christ
And wept upon his feet
Within my heart I carried
Ten million years of grief

[Verse Two]
The ground became a river
From the depths there arose a prayer
Blessed is the heart that breaks
From all the shame it bears

[Chorus]
For mercy let us bow our heads
For mercy let us pray
For mercy love was sent to us
Rejoice upon this day
Rejoice upon this day

[Verse Three]
Beside me in the water
The sacred lion swam
The voice of Mary said to me
The river was named I Am

[Verse Four]
It turned into a pathway
That wound among the trees
Branches swaying in the wind
Strung with rosary beads
