Kyrie Eleison (It’s Mercy We Need)

[Intro]
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison

[Verse 1]
I held them up, they let me down
Don't hold me up, I'll do the same thing
All it takes is to look around
To see that they're broken, to see that I'm broken
And underneath it all
What we really want
A prophet to teach it, a shepherd to lead it
A king to believe in, but isn't that Jesus?

[Chorus]
Kyrie eleison
Kyrie eleison

[Verse 2]
Mercy, what I need is mercy
What I want is mostly mercy for me
Justice, yeah, we all we want justice
Is it really justice if it doesn't cost us?
Do I love mercy enough to bleed?
Will I do justly when it ain't free?
I could walk humbly, weak on my feet
With Christ as my king, his mercy through me, yeah

[Chorus]
Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy over us)
Kyrie eleison (Oh, oh, oh)
Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy over us)
Kyrie eleison

[Bridge]
Mercy, mercy, mercy for the sinner in me
Mercy, mercy, mercy for my friends and enemies
Mercy, mercy, mercy through my hands and through my feet
Lord, have mercy cause it's mercy we need, singin'
Mercy, mercy, mercy for the sinner in me
Mercy, mercy, mercy for my friends and enemies
Mercy, mercy, mercy through my hands and through my feet
Singin', "Lord, have mercy cause it's mercy we need," and I sing
Lord, have mercy cause it's mercy we need

[Chorus]
Kyrie eleison (Mercy, mercy, mercy, Christ, have mercy)
Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy cause it's mercy we need)
Kyrie eleison (Christ, have mercy)
Kyrie eleison

[Outro]
Lord, have mercy cause it's mercy we need
