I ran away from love
This lonely road I trod
Walking by myself
In the light of the love of God

So come lay your mercy down on me
We'll take a walk and reason, yeah
Come lay your mercy down on me
Everything in its own due season
Come lay your mercy down on me, baby
Come lay your mercy down on me

Though the flesh may get weak
The heart don't get weary
Are you gonna come and refresh me?

Come lay your mercy down on me
When I'm old and gray
Come lay your mercy down on me
We'll give Jah the thanks and praise

Oh, when I thirst
You're there to fill my cup
You give me strength to dance
In the light of the love of Jah
So come lay your mercy down on me
I said, I'm not a wealthy man
Come lay your mercy down on me
I said I hope that you understand
Come lay your mercy down on me
You got to come lay your mercy down on me

Mercy, oh

Lay down, mercy, mercy, on me. {x5}
