mercy

my tears are dry, dry tears so full of sorrows, troubled am i, hoping you'll see tomorrow, save his heart and soul, save his soul, i hear a sound, beyond the distance crying, black winds blow cold, where dreams are dying, jesus, won't you please, and i know i'm so weak, so weak and you're strong, take him by the hand and lead him on, have mercy, have mercy, oh, i speak your name, oh lord please hear me callin, he's lost his way, help him to keep from fallin, tell me that you will, i know you will, praise be thy name, oh lord a god of mercy, help ease my pain, wash all his sins away, jesus won't you please, have mercy on me, help him climb to the mountaintop, bring my baby home, he's all i've got, send away all my stumbling blocks, hey, hey, have mercy on me, jesus, forgive my son for all the wrong he's done, on my knees i'm beggin' you please, oh let the winds, let the trumpet sound, let the little lamb be found, jesus. have mercy. do. oh lordy, who do i lean on, have mercy
