I can only say what I've been through baby
Whether thistles or the storm
And in the darkest shade of the night
There is a joy
And I'm acquainted with it
Oh the darkness and the night
And I can get lost in it
But no matter how far I go
It's your mercy brings me home
I need your mercy every day
I need your mercy on the way
Through the thick and thin I say
I need your mercy
And I couldn't help but think
That the villain was deserving
Of the harm that befell him and his whole family
But when I looked in the mirror
And saw the daggers in my eyes
I wonder how you ever put up with me
I need your mercy every day
I need your mercy on the way
Through the thick and thin I say
I need your mercy
I can only say that I'm sorry and that I
Still need your love unconditional
And when I lose my way
I will listen for your voice
