Mercy Now

	  		A					D 
My father could use a little mercy now 
       E 
The fruits of his labor  
                                           A 
Fall and rot slowly on the ground

He's a stranger to freedom  
                                           A 
He's shackled to his fears and doubts

A					                        D 
My church and my country could use a little mercy now 
              E 
As they sink into a poisoned pit 
                                                            A 
That's going to take forever to climb out 
A 
They carry the weight of the faithful 
		A/C#	D 
Who follow them down 
       E						                             A 
I love my church and country, and they could use some mercy now

       E 
Only the hand of grace can end the race 
                                               A 
Towards another mushroom cloud 
A 
People in power, well 
			          A/C#	D 
They'll do anything to keep their crown 
       E						A 
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now

I know we don't deserve it  
                                     A 
But we need it anyhow 
A 
We hang in the balance  
			            A/C#	D 
Dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground 
       E				D		A 
Every single one of us could use some mercy now 
       E				D		A 
Every single one of us could use some mercy now 
       E				D		A 
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
