Have Mercy On Us All

Verse

The waters rise, the streets are broken,

Bridges fall while promises are spoken.

Gold was meant for the nation’s care,

But greed has stolen what was ours to share.

Pre-chorus

Lord, we are weary, but we lift our hands,

Our tears are heavy on this wounded land.

Chorus

God of justice, hear our cry,

See the pain your people hide.

Raise the humble, bring the proud to fall,

Have mercy, Lord, have mercy on us all.

Verse

Floodgates open, yet hearts are closed,

Dreams are buried where the river flows.

Contracts written, yet lives are lost,

Foundations crumble at a bitter cost.

Pre-chorus

Lord, we are broken, but our hope’s not gone,

Your truth will shine when the night is long.

Chorus

God of justice, hear our cry,

See the pain your people hide.

Raise the humble, bring the proud to fall,

Have mercy, Lord, have mercy on us all.

Bridge

Let the chains of power be undone,

Let corruption face the Righteous One.

Let the rivers flow with healing grace,

And justice roll in this broken place.

Chorus

God of mercy, hear our prayer,

Lift us from this deep despair.

Flood our nation not with greed,

But with justice, love, and every need.

Outro

Have mercy, Lord… have mercy on us all.
