Lord Have Mercy

How many roads are left to walk

Shattered and nailed upon a cross

Tired and beaten to the bones

When will HE come, to take me home


How many mountains are left to climb

They seem to get higher every time

Oh Lord I’m down and all alone

Tell Jesus come, refresh my soul


How many rivers are left to cry

Drowning in pain and want to die

How much more courage I need to show

When will HE come, I need to know 


How many times my heart to break

Feeling there’s no way to escape

Oh Lord I'm begging you today

Tell Jesus come, show me the way

In JESUS name I PRAY

Your prayer will be heard my friend - but mankind has to gather all their strength and either live with this vicious enemy, or be destroyed by it. Poetry soup still wants you here and so do I, so if Jesus comes, He will be the light that will kill this dark evil presence, Such a wonderful soulful prayer. Hugs, Jennifer.

Unfortunately, as many as it takes. Fortunately, His Mercy and Graces are infinite. You will make it, my friend. All of us will but not at the same time nor in the same way. This would make a great song. So well penned and profound. Great read!

A great prayer indeed, Arturo and a FAV. Mankind has gone through many tribulations! And we are still here. Rather than weep, we must trust Him. He is not always a good God throwing blessings our way. He chastises men and women for living godless lives. Perhaps these days will wake people up. I truly hope they do.

Amen my friend. I keep reminding myself that no matter how much I suffer or how many times I suffer Jesus went through much, much more. He knows how much we endure and He is there to carry us through the fire. He is our Rock and our Salvation. And Great Is His Faithfulness. God Bless, JB
