Sweet Mercy

Take one last good look at me
Before I leave, before I leave
And I got what I was due
As I stumbled on home
Looking for the faith
To not feel so alone

There's a well-trodden road
That my feet know quite well
Wide and smooth, you'd slowly move
But you would never tell

And the domino pieces
And reaping what you've sown, no
Never thought I'd end up here
But then, I should have know

And the long fall down to hell
Isn't a fall at all
There's a nice and easy staircase
That goes along the wall
And when you reach rock bottom
You see friends you know
And the way back's so long
That you don't wanna go,
That you don't wanna go

Sweet mercy

Sweet mercy I sing on bended knee
Sweet mercy, O Lord, over me

And the way to get heaven
Is to bow your head and pray
Pray for God's mercy and enter in, the narrow way
And when you reach those pearly gates and don't know what to say
Oh say sweet mercy, sweet mercy, sweet mercy over me
Sweet mercy, sweet mercy, sweet mercy over me
