I KNOW LIFE IS A FRAGILE THING;
And knowing love is its greatest prize
But if our hearts carry so much pain
How can there be room for love inside?
Don’t you need a mercy day
Where everything gets cleared away
And grace falls down our debts are paid
This could be your mercy day
If you find hope can you make it stay?
If you find love does it have to go away?
Don’t you think it’s time to find a better way?
Love is here and this is mercy day
There’s a price you cannot pay
This could be your mercy day
Where everything gets cleared away
And grace falls down, our debts are paid
Come on in it’s mercy day
Grace falls down, debts are paid
