Lyrics
Oh Lord, I am dry
In this desert you?ve made with my own hands.
Every time I reach for the sky,
My heart just sinks here in the sand.
I don?t know how I wound up here-
You gave me such good directions.
I started to stray, and I lost my way.
I need a touch of your affection:
Send your mercy
Send your grace
Let your power fall, wash over us all
Send your mercy
Look around- what?s all this?
Many others have joined my journey.
With planks in their eyes, still they criticize
Every speck they think they see.
Why can?t we lift ourselves from this mess?
Why can?t we give up all of this strife?
This desert is dry, and we?re all gonna die
Without the water of Life.
Send your mercy
Send your grace
Let your power fall, wash over us all
Send your mercy
We whose teeth are spears and arrows
We whose tongues are sharper than swords
We dig a pit in the path of others, and then we fall right in
We?ve got to cry out to the Lord
Send your mercy
Send your grace
Let your power fall, wash over us all
Send your mercy
