Lyrics

Kyrie eleison 

I held them up they let me down
Don’t hold me up I’ll do the same thing 
All it takes is to look around 
To see that they’re broken
To see that I’m broken
Underneath it all 
What we really want 
A prophet to teach it
A shepherd to lead it 
A King to believe in 
But isn’t that Jesus?  

Kyrie eleison 
(Lord have mercy)

Mercy
What I need is mercy 
But what I want is mostly, mercy for me 
Justice, yeah, we all we want justice 
But is it really justice if it doesn’t cost us
Do I love mercy enough to bleed?
Will I do justly when it ain’t free? 
I could walk humbly, weak on my feet
With Christ as my King, His mercy through me 
Kyrie eleison 
Lord have mercy 

Mercy mercy mercy for the sinner in me
Mercy mercy mercy for my friends and enemies 
Mercy mercy mercy through my hands and through my feet
Lord have mercy cause it’s mercy we need
