Mercy Falls Like Summer Rain

Verse

I’m looking up past the city walls

Beyond the shadows where the evening falls

I’ve heard the whispers, I’ve felt the sting

But I’m tuned into a different thing

Like a servant watching for a master’s sign

I’m waiting on a mercy that is pure and kind!

Chorus

Oh, let the mercy fall like a summer rain

Wash away the worry, take away the strain

You’re filling up the cup that the world tried to drain

With a Joy that’s breaking every chain!

I’m shouting it out from the floor to the sky

Your mercy is the reason for the light in my eye!

Verse

The scoffers can talk, let 'em have their say

'Cause Your favor is a sun that’ll never go gray

Psalm 123, yeah, I made my plea

And You answered with a river running wild and free

I’m "exceedingly filled," but it isn’t with the pride

It’s the gold of Your goodness bubbling up inside!

Bridge

(Upbeat, rhythmic clapping)

Eyes up! (Joy’s coming)

Heart open! (Mercy’s running)

I was heavy yesterday, but I’m dancing today

The Mercy of the Lord swept the sorrow away!

Yeah, it swept it all away!

Chorus

Oh, let the mercy fall like a summer rain

Wash away the worry, take away the strain

You’re filling up the cup that the world tried to drain

With a Joy that’s breaking every chain!

I’m shouting it out from the floor to the sky

Your mercy is the reason for the light in my eye!

Outro

Exceedingly joyful!

Exceedingly loved!

My eyes are on the Father, looking up above!

(End with a final, bright strum)
