Mercy

My heart aches

My heart breaks

From the pain that blows in the wind

So I sing upon my sin

I cry in this empty space

that has carried my disgrace.

Black and white

I am held tight 

by the chains that bound me 

to this rock I am to be

nothing but dust

that will rust.

Show me the light

turn it bright!

As the sun above

 I can see your love.

Send your mercy!

 It may pierce me

That I can be. . . 

filled with compassion and your grace

So I can stop running this race.

Your mercy

rescued me

in the middle of the ocean,

in the driest of deserts,

In the frozen places of my heart.

Your mercy found me

and bond to me.

Seal my heart!

Break my chains!

To be free of this misery!

Bring me home to your heart,

and never let me depart

ever again.
