Seven Acts of Mercy |
Water for the thirsty |
The hungry are fed |
Clothe the naked |
Bury the dead |
Harbour the stranger |
Visit those in need |
Minister to the prisoner |
There is no greater deed |
Seven acts of mercy |
Six are not enough |
Seven ways to show you care for everyone you love |
Seven times as stronger |
Every second of the day |
But if there’s one thing to remember |
Show some mercy everyday |
Can you give to a taker? |
Can you take what you give? |
Can you love someone who hates you? |
And forget and forgive? |
Charity’s outdated |
Replaced by lust and greed |
Break out the tides are sailing |
We always take more than we need |
(Repeat chorus) |
If there’s one thing to remember |
Show me some mercy everyday! |
