A CRY FOR MERCY

My healing heart has shattered
Once again it's broke in two
As I try to gather all the pieces
My trembling fingers they slip through

Oh, Lord, I need to talk to you
There's so much I have to say
I need you, God, to hold me close
And lend your ear to me this day

I struggle and I try so hard
To live as Jesus wants me to
But it seems for every step I take
I slip back another two

Failure mounts on every side
Tribulation straight ahead
With darkness trailing close behind
Sometimes I wish that I was dead

Lord, life keeps getting oh so hard
Please reach down and take my hand
A cry for mercy I call out to you
Because alone I cannot stand
