May every word be spoken, and every truth be told
May every promise be unbroken, every gift turned into gold
And let there be mercy, mercy, mercy
Let there be mercy, mercy, mercy
May every curse be broken, and every hope revealed
May every blessing be unbroken, and every broken heart be healed
And let there be mercy, mercy, mercy
Let there be mercy, mercy, mercy
Let the water flow, let the light shine
Let the blood go through me like a river winds
Through the valley, through the meadow
Through my spirit and my soul just like a river goes
Through the mountain, under the moonlight
Let the blood go through me till I truly see the light
And let there be mercy Lord,
Oh, let there be mercy Lord.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, forgive us all the things we've done
Leave the writing on the wall, but don't let it fall, don't let it fall
And let there be mercy, mercy, mercy
Let there be mercy, mercy, mercy
Let there be mercy for my brother and sister, my mother, my family
Let there be mercy for my friends and lovers, my foes and enemies
Let there be mercy for my words and wars, deeds and deeds I didn't do
Let there be mercy for every soul in this city may the Lord have pity over you
Let the water flow, let the light shine
Let the blood go through me like a river winds
Through the valley, through the meadow
Through my spirit and my soul just like a river goes
Over the mountain, under the moonlight
Let the blood go through me till I truly see the light
And let there be mercy Lord,
Oh, let there be mercy Lord
Jesus build a ship, let us sing a song
Let the spirit on the face of the water be the wind in the sail that carries us home.
