Call for Mercy

Lyrics

God almighty we look to thee
Our hearts are heavy so yours must bleed
We pray for the victims of tragedy
That by your grace O Lord somehow they’ll find relief

For all who suffer we are calling on you Lord
O Lord, Lord hear our call for mercy
For all who’re dying and need to know your love
O Lord, Lord hear our call for mercy

For those who are missing, for those who wait
For anger that threatens to turn into hate
We pray for your presence in their pain
And ask that you reveal yourself in Jesus’ name

Hear our prayer
Hear our cry O Lord, Lord
Hear our prayer
Hear our cry O Lord

Lord bless the innocent, the families torn apart
Help those who care for them
Your rays of hope inside the darkness
Soften our hearts, don’t let us be deaf
Just because we’ve strayed from you
To the least of them whatever we do
We’re doing it to you
To the least of them whatever we do
We’re doing it to you
