John Levi - Have Mercy Lyrics

In my dreams hear the spirit telling me to write this down
They will know it is the truth even if they hate the sound
Even if they take u down He will still be elevated
Look at the saints and martyrs who suffered before they celebrated
Feels like I'll never make it, I'm still on this jagged journey
I'm just glad I died already I'll do it again, bring out the gurney
And my attorney already beat the case
You cannot punish me anyway He already took my place
They beat him bloody then bombarded his buddies
They discarded the studies now tell us His church is ugly
Lovely cause that's a fact were human broken and cracked
Scandal always attacks those who pick up the slack
Holy tribe Levitical people are way more critical
Of servants but its pretty pitiful how they ridicule
This battle is spiritual and everyone is cynical
Only cause we've all been hurt knocked down from the pinnacle
We're fallen!

Battered bruised confused we lose.
We've decided we love death when we get to choose
For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us all
Do you hear us still asking?
It's obvious you do, you withhold your justice
Why on earth do you continue to love us?
For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us all
Lord We will keep asking

We give up it's you we need,
We kill ourselves we kill our seeds
We change your laws and definitions nominating politicians
Who do not respect your word acting like they've never heard
Of you who have given all things, You paid for that your freedom rings
Let us sing for you who reign, Cristo Rey, King of Kings
Have mercy on a nation full of left and right wings
Hard to do the right when lobbyists are stifling
They wire bribes from their banks they're not even hiding
Who even cares anymore? The reasons were involved in wars
You and Pac both said it we will always have the poor
They get our resistance instead of our assistance
And cant pretend we don't know what up wit these prisons
Incisions cutting deep into our own existence
Time is persistent it will not stop and listen
Were drifting we betray you with a kiss and
Praying u withhold judgment please postpone that mission

Battered bruised confused we lose.
We've decided we love death when we get to choose
For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us all
Do you hear us still asking?
It's obvious you do, you withhold your justice
Why on earth do you continue to love us?
For the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us all
Lord We will keep asking

Holy Father
Holy Mighty one
Holy eternal one
Have mercy
Have mercy
Have mercy on us all
