Through Your Mercy

Engaging in what I think is right,
in a lonely world of sorrow and pain,
often leads to a deadly bloody fight,
when the dust settles there is no gain.

Precious moments of lingering thoughts,
hearts become wrapped in heaven's love,
true treasures that can never be bought,
a beautiful gift from the Savior above.

To light a world, beneath the sky of blue,
courage and peace spilled upon the ground,
the essence of Jesus I know, ever so true,.
