I can only say what I've been through baby Whether thistles or the storm And in the darkest shade of the night There is a joy And I'm acquainted with it Oh the darkness and the night And I can get lost in it But no matter how far I go It's your mercy brings me home I need your mercy every day I need your mercy on the way Through the thick and thin I say I need your mercy And I couldn't help but think That the villain was deserving Of the harm that befell him and his whole family But when I looked in the mirror And saw the daggers in my eyes I wonder how you ever put up with me I need your mercy every day I need your mercy on the way Through the thick and thin I say I need your mercy I can only say that I'm sorry and that I Still need your love unconditional And when I lose my way I will listen for your voice
