Mercy Will Prevail

I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to defend it

I know it comes from You and I don't comprehend it

Love never fails

Mercy will prevail

I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to defend it

In the chill of a cruel word

In the nest of a wounded bird

In the shadow of doubt

In the smoke

In the smoke of a torch blown out

I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to believe it

I know it comes from You so I want to receive it

Divine love never fails

Mercy will prevail

I wanna swear it's true but it's hard to believe it

In the thrust of a bayonet

In the hour of deep regret

In a world gone insane

In the eye

In the eye of a hurricane

In the chill of a cruel word

In the nest of a wounded bird

In the shadow of doubt

In the smoke

In the smoke of a torch blown out

In the flight of a sharp stone

In the rubble where children moan

In our own apathy

In the blood

In the river at Calvary
