Lyrics
The Mercy Beat
Verse 1:
Sad and lonely eyes, You'll be quite surprised
The day--you find your way
You've been all alone, Feeling quite unknown
It's true--why be blue?
As you're walking down the street
Just take in the Mercy Beat
Sad and lonely eyes, There's no need to cry
Today--you'll find your way
Chorus:
Love your neighbor now, it's oh so sweet
Fill your cup with kindness, 'til it's complete
Now you're keeping time to the mercy beat
Verse 2:
Heartfelt to the core, Open up the door
It's your need--to take the lead
Now it's understood, You've embraced the good
It's so fine, to taste sweet fine
You'll be good, get off your seat
Celebrate with the Mercy Beat
Sad and lonely eyes, There's no need to cry
Today--you'll find your way
Chorus:
Love your neighbor now, it's oh so sweet
Fill your cup with kindness, 'til it's complete
Now you're keeping time to the mercy beat
Bridge:
It's a world that's filled with sharks
But you can leave your indelible mark
Maybe it's not what you planned
But love and mercy--go hand in hand
Verse 3:
Act but not in haste, You've no time to waste
You'll prove you're in the groove
Patiently reach out, and they'll be no doubt
You're saved and not depraved
Soon you'll all be wide awake
When you give and never take
Sad and lonely eyes, There's no need to cry
Today--you'll find your way
Chorus:
Love your neighbor now, it's oh so sweet
Fill your cup with kindness, 'til it's complete
Now you're keeping time to the mercy beat
