God of mercy, here I cry
Turn Your hand tonight
Bring relief from their pain
Be their comfort
And every day they're given breath
Give them strength to live
And as their weary bodies fail
Fighting is over, flesh gives way
Be their light to guide them home
God of mercy, here I cry
Heal their souls tonight
Give them peace from their fears
Be their hope, Lord
And every day You give them breath
Give them strength to live
And as their weary bodies fail
Fighting is over, flesh gives way
Be their star to guide them home
Sometimes I don't know what to ask for
Sometimes I don't know what to say
But I know that You are watching over them
Sometimes I don't know what to pray for
Sometimes I don't know how to give
But I know that You are watching over them
And their life is not in vain
So God of mercy, here I cry
Turn your hand tonight
Bring relieve from their pain
Be their comfort
And every day they're given breath
Give them strength to live
And as their weary bodies fail
Fighting is over, flesh gives way
Be their light to guide them home
