Mercy River

Mountains steep and canyons wide
A ragin' heat that won't subside
I stumble trying to choose the way to go
There is a truth I long to keep
Spirit's willin', flesh is weak
But when I fail, I know just where to go

Oh, gonna run to the healin' waters
Where the Mercy River flows
Gonna let the soothin' waves wash over my soul
Gonna rest on the banks of Forgiveness
Where the Spirit wind blows
Goin' down to where the Mercy River flows
Oh, it flows... it flows

A rushing power of ancient tide
That washes guilt and pain aside
Bringing life to every seeking soul
The more I live, the more I learn
With every narrow windin' turn
There is no greater peace that I know

Oh, gonna run to the healin' waters
Where the Mercy River flows
Gonna let the soothin' waves wash over my soul
Gonna rest on the banks of Forgiveness
Where the Spirit wind blows
Goin' down to where the Mercy River flows
Oh, it flows... it flows
Oh, it flows

Oh, gonna run to the healin' waters
Where the Mercy River flows
Gonna let the soothin' waves wash over my soul
Gonna rest on the banks of Forgiveness
Where the Spirit wind blows
Goin' down to where the Mercy River flows
Oh, it flows... it flows

Mercy River... it flows... it flows...
Mercy River... it flows...
Mercy River... it flows...
Mercy River... it flows... yeah...
Mercy River... it flows
