Lord Have Mercy

Lord have mercy, when is it going to end
Lord have mercy, the thoughts of the powerless men
Who sits in the seat of authority
really don't know where, how or when.
Lord have mercy, God's children have been
refused, rejected, neglected and rend
Lord have mercy, for only you know when
If they will just listen to you God
When its really going to end.
