I Cry for Mercy

Sometimes when I'm weary
And I lose my foothold
And I slip into a place
Where I have never been before
Frightened, disillusioned
Surrounded by shadows
Somehow I go beyond myself
And deep within my soul

I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy, O Lord

Worry, never worry
When you're filled with sorrow
Sometimes it takes a broken heart
To see the light of day
That's when I remember
How to see through shadows
I let His light shine through my prayer
And deep within my soul

I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy, O Lord

A cry for mercy always gets His ear
A cry for mercy chases away fear

I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy, O Lord

I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy
I cry for mercy, O Lord
