"Mercy"- A song of prayer for Indonesia and Japan, by Hannah Ford
www.hannahford.com. Our hearts are with you, Japan! I originally wrote this song when the tsunami disaster hit Indonesia in 2004. I later dedicated it also to the Hurricane Katrina and Haiti victims. Now I'm dedicating it to you, Japan. You have always had a special place in my heart and you surely have a special place in God's heart. May His strength, love, and compassion comfort you, rebuild and revive you. May you rest in His salvation. Love, hannah

"Mercy" lyrics:
V.1
Break my heart, oh God, right now
With your Spirit's loving power
Reduce me, till I am only love
For the least of these I pray
The lost, the broken, and afraid
Please, reveal to them your love
Chorus
Mercy, I cry mercy, Lord
Mercy, I pray, mercy
And salvation for them now
And for all their eternities
May they know you as their God
And worship you as their King
V.2
With your strong arm rescue them
In gentleness reassure them
That they can trust in you
Be their living water
Their bread of life, the light of their world
Every good thing comes from you
Bridge:
Your compassion and love shine so brightly
May we hope and believe
Would you draw them, rebuild, and revive them
And as you do, may they see
End:
Mercy, I cry mercy Lord
Mercy, I plead mercy Lord
Mercy, I cry mercy, Lord
Mercy, I plead mercy.
