Mercy from Worrying Boy by Chris Rosser

MERCY (©Chris Rosser)

We sail across the water
Abandoning our homes
Carry on our backs all we can save
Our fathers and daughters
Our mothers and sons
Trusting all our fortunes to the waves

Oh, mercy
Decorates the strong and noble crown
Oh, mercy
Guides the hapless ship to sacred ground
Oh, mercy

You of earthly power
With the world at your command
Like monarchs in high towers far away
Enthrone the hearts of
The fortunate ones
So mercy rules above the sceptered sway

Oh, mercy
Decorates the strong and noble crown
Oh, mercy
Guides the hapless ship to sacred ground
Oh, mercy

Oh, mercy
Oh, mercy
