How Mercy Looks From Here - Amy Grant

The water rose today

The river with the rain

Memories and picture frames

Are floating miles away

Through the wreckage and the mud

The ruins after the flood

She survived at 91, hmm

Some would have given up

Drowning in their tears

But on her wrinkled face

A smile appeared

When you face your greatest fear

Losing all that you hold near

Open up your eyes my dear

Oh how mercy looks from here

The call I couldn’t take

Unbearable mistakes

A brilliant mind that fades away

A baby doll beside the grave

When you face your greatest fear

Losing all that you hold near

Open up your eyes my dear

Oh how mercy looks from here

I would have given up, drowning in my tears

If it wasn’t for your voice all these years

When you face your greatest fear

Losing all that you hold near

Open up your eyes my dear

My dear

That’s when boundless grace appears

Unseen angels hover near

Saints are singing loud and clear

Oh how mercy looks from here

Oh how mercy looks from here

Oh how mercy looks from here

Oh how mercy looks from here

The water rose today
