Mercy Now ~ Mary Gauthier Cover

I have always like this song a lot. Today is the first time I had ever tried to play it. Lots of mistakes, but they say...practice makes better! lol Keith accompanied me on the organ. The audio is terrible...I plan to remove and re-do this soon. My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over
It won't be long and he won't be around
I love my father, and he could use some mercy now

My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom
He's shackled to his fears and doubts
The pain that he lives in is
Almost more than living will allow
I love my bother, and he could use some mercy now

My church and my country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit
That's going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful
Who follow them down
I love my church and country, and they could use some mercy now

Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race
Towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, well
They'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now

Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it
But we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance
Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now

This is such a heart-grabbin' song, honest n' painful but so beautiful.

This is so-o-o very well written and presented with a lovely emotive grace.

I love it !

btw I had similar sound problems. Try uploading the next allowable size UP from the "recommended" size... or largest allowable. For some reason the higher resolution changed the sound, don't know why, but it worked for me.
