Lyrics:
Have Mercy On America
By Charles V. Hayden
[Verse 1]
Deep cries echo in the night sky
Our hearts are heavy and we ask why
The truth's been hidden the love’s run dry
God hear us now don’t pass us by
[Verse 2]
Our cities burn while trust fades away
The weary pray for a brighter day
We’re lost in shadows lead us to light
Save us Lord keep us in Your sight
[Chorus]
Have mercy on America oh hear our plea
Forgive our sins Lord, save our democracy
Bring peace where chaos tries to divide
Heal our land Lord stay by our side
[Verse 3]
The banners wave but hearts are torn
Dreams we built now weathered and worn
From the ashes we call Your name
Reignite the hope that once overcame
[Bridge]
Justice falters and voices roar
We’ve strayed so far but we need You more
God of mercy mend what’s so broken
Let Your grace be the words unspoken
[Chorus]
Have mercy on America, oh hear our plea
Forgive our sins Lord, save our democracy
Bring peace where chaos tries to divide
Heal our land Lord, stay by our side
[Outro]
Bring peace where chaos tries to divide
Heal our land Lord, stay by our side
