MERCY

Curtains drawn in a dim hotel room
He was alone to cover his tracks
The rubber, the spoon, the lighter and the needle
Offered up the courage he lacked
His struggle was real but he was out of fight
His demons started walking out into the light
He probably didn’t know it, but maybe he did
It’s the last time he’d get high tonight

It’s a Saturday night, a room full of junkies
Arms raised and seeking God’s graces
Praising His name and singing to Jesus
Hard living etched on their faces
No one’s surprised when they hear the news
About losing one of their own
Could have been one them in that lonely hotel
Found with a needle sticking out of their arm

Amazing Grace
Let your mercy unfold
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
When you die young you never get old

The worst that was done will never compare
To confessions that were heard in that room
But you’re not the judge and you can’t condemn
You’ve never spent time walking in their shoes

It won’t be a funeral and it won’t be a wake
No one will be sure what it was
Everyone there will feel the spirit come down
And the angels will watch from above
One things for certain yeah this much is true
It might have been anyone, it could have been you
The grace we don’t deserve is still seeing us through
It might get lonesome but we're doing alright

Amazing Grace
Let your mercy unfold
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
When you die young you never get old
