Mercy (Acoustic Session)
In the pages of my bible there's a hundred dollar bill
'cause if Jesus doesn't save me I know Benjamin will
If you ever had to wonder how you feel about faith
There's no better way to find out than a gun in your face
Twice my size, head to toe tattoos
Drug crazed eyes hide a soul from view
Just my hands wrapped tight 'round my King James
I'm so sorry Jesus but it's Benjamin's day
But, "I don't want your money," he says
"Just shut your mouth and get in"
So I prayed to god to let me live
Let me live
Whisper
Mercy
Mercy
The garden of the gods is where he broke my pride
He was thinking of his, I was thinking of mine
It's amazing where you go to when you're trying to survive
I saw the angel in the devil as he ruined my life
And I was thinking 'bout Jesus when they nailed him in
How he asked his daddy to forgive their sins
Looked in his eyes and I made my peace with him
I made my peace with him
I prayed
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
I need mercy
Show me mercy
Please mercy
Mercy
Told my friends I'd been broken by a man
Then they broke me in a way I think I'll never understand
They said my spirit of lust had thrust him on me
Then they turned their backs disgusted like I was unclean
All those years spent believing that lie
Thought that I'd be dirty for the rest of my life
If you said "love" I'd be terrified
'Til I went and found the girl who lost her world that night
'Til I went and found the girl who lost her world that night
'cause if Jesus doesn't save me I know Benjamin will
If you ever had to wonder how you feel about faith
There's no better way to find out than a gun in your face
Twice my size, head to toe tattoos
Drug crazed eyes hide a soul from view
Just my hands wrapped tight 'round my King James
I'm so sorry Jesus but it's Benjamin's day
But, "I don't want your money," he says
"Just shut your mouth and get in"
So I prayed to god to let me live
Let me live
Whisper
Mercy
Mercy
The garden of the gods is where he broke my pride
He was thinking of his, I was thinking of mine
It's amazing where you go to when you're trying to survive
I saw the angel in the devil as he ruined my life
And I was thinking 'bout Jesus when they nailed him in
How he asked his daddy to forgive their sins
Looked in his eyes and I made my peace with him

I prayed
Mercy

If you said "love" I'd be terrified
'Til I went and found the girl who lost her world that night
'Til I went and found the girl who lost her world that night
