[Verse]
When I count all my blessings, blessings
I can't even be sad any more, can't even be sad any more
When I count all my blessings, blessings
My heart still hurts for the world that I know, the world that I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting out into the water, missing down under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense of direction, praying for love and protection
Sinking down under the water, slipping down under
Drifting out into the water, missing down under
Tell me what is it you care for? Is there even a care at all?
Praying for sense of direction, praying for love and protection
[Chorus] x4
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
(Have mercy on us all)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
(Have mercy on us)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
(Have mercy on us all, us all)
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy
[Bridge]
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
If I call on a blessing, Lord
Will you remember me?
[Outro]
We try, we try
We try, we try
Said we try
And we try
And we try
And we try
