(or The Catholic Song)

This song has taken me forever to get going. I wanted a sort of bell sound, cathedral type organ, chantish background, you know, a high church yet modern sound. I am quite certain that someone else could do it better, but alas, I have just me, so what else can I do. I just came up with the chant ‘have mercy’ throughout the song today and I felt that could complete the song (or demolish it, I don’t know) so here it is because I am sick of dealing with it!

 

Here are the lyrics:

 

Have mercy now on us, have mercy Lord

Have mercy now on us, have mercy Lord

Have mercy now on us, have mercy Lord

Have mercy now on us, have mercy Lord

 

When we’re struggling to make ends meet

When we’re stumbling on our feet

When we’re tired, when we’re weak

When we’re so thirsty, we can not speak

 

Chorus

 

Break our hearts, our love renew

We are blind here without You

Tasting gall, tasting death

May we fear You with each breath

 

Chorus
