For these old four walls that house my loves--
Oh, the warm mercy of the LORD
~
For this skin, more comfortable with spent moments--
Oh, the soft mercy of the LORD
~
For the rending, the breaking of my facade--
Oh, the strong mercy of the LORD
~
For the shattering, for the gathering of my mind--
Oh, the hard mercy of the LORD
~
For the renewal, more sweet for things lost
Oh, the fresh mercy of the LORD
~
For the dying, the dropping of the dross
Oh, the deep mercy of the LORD
~
For the lightness of wings, the easy yoke of freedom
Oh, the wide mercy of the LORD
~
For the grit, for the burning of purpose
Oh, the holy-fire mercy of the LORD
~
For the other side of your world ending
Oh, the eternal mercy of the LORD
~
For Thee we thank.
