Mercy have mercy Lord
Mercy have mercy Lord
Mercy have mercy Lord
Mercy have mercy Lord
Mercy is what we need
Your mercy is what we need
Verse
Lord hear the echoes
Of all your people
They cry for mercy
From long ago
Please keep your promise
Let nothing harm us
Without your mercy
We'll surely die
Verse 2
Our Children dying
Our Mothers crying
Our Fathers falling
But they’ve been called by you
Lord we are helpless
We cry for kindness
We need your mercy
We need it now
Chorus
Mercy have mercy Lord
Mercy have mercy Lord
Mercy have mercy Lord

Mercy is what we need
Your Mercy is what we need
Special Chorus
You said your goodness
And your mercy will follow us
All the days of our lives x3
You said your goodness
And your Mercy would follow us x1
And will give you the glory
And will give you the glory
Verse 3
We are your people
Who are called by your name
We humble ourselves
And we pray
We seek your face
Turn from our wicked ways
Forgive our sins
And heal our land
Turn Around
