Mercy’s Child

I was a stranger to mercy
I was lovers with lies
I was owned by the darkness, blind and hypnotised

Love had left me abandoned
Love had left me unclaimed
Loneliness was my companion 'til I called your name

Oh, my soul was an orphan, property of the dark
Now I am mercy's child, and your name is written on my heart

Tangled up in my pride
Well, sin is such a hard master
You reached out when I was hanging over the edge of disaster

Oh, my soul was an orphan, property of the dark
Now I am mercy's child, and your name is writtеn on my heart

And all the bells in Hеaven ring it
It's the name above every name
So let the orphans and angels sing it

Isolation was the only company I knew
But now I'm so emotionally attached to you

Oh, my soul was an orphan, property of the dark
Now I am mercy's child, and your name...
Your name is written on my heart, on my heart
