My tears are dry
Dry tears so full of sorrows
Troubled am I, hoping you'll see tomorrow
Save his heart and soul, save his soul
I hear a sound
Beyond the distance crying
Black winds blow cold
Where dreams are dying
Jesus, won't you please
(Have mercy, have mercy on me)
And I know I'm so weak, so weak and you're strong
(Jesus)
Take him by the hand and lead him on
(Have mercy, have mercy on me)
Have mercy, have mercy, oh
I speak your name
Oh Lord please hear me callin
He's lost his way
Help him to keep from fallin
Tell me that you will
I know you will
Praise be thy name
Oh lord a god of mercy
Help ease my pain
Wash all his sins away
Jesus won't you please
(Have mercy, have mercy on me)
Have mercy on me
(Jesus)
Help him climb to the mountaintop
(Jesus)
Bring my baby home, he's all I've got
(Jesus)
Send away all my stumbling blocks
Hey, hey
(Have mercy, have mercy on me)
Have mercy on me, Jesus
(Jesus)
Forgive my son for all the wrong he's done
(Jesus)
On my knees I'm beggin' you please
(Jesus)
Oh let the winds, let the trumpet sound
Let the little lamb be found
(Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Jesus... have mercy... do...
Oh Lordy, who do I lean on, have mercy
