Mercy In Their Eyes

Luis H. Rocha

Lord, I see the weary faces
Walking through the rain alone
Broken hands and empty tables
Calling from a silent home
Children looking through the window
Dreaming of a brighter day
While the blessed look away
And forget what love can say

Put Your mercy in their eyes
Put Your kindness in their hands
Teach the strong to lift the fallen
Help them understand
For the ones who have so little
For the ones who lost their way
Lord, let love become the answer
Guide our hearts today

Some have bread and warm fires burning
Some have shelter from the storm
Others sleep beneath the shadows
Praying just to keep them warm
Lord, we are one human family
Though we stand on different ground
Let the blessed hear the crying
When no other voice is found

Put Your mercy in their eyes
Put Your kindness in their hands
Teach the strong to lift the fallen
Help them understand
For the ones who have so little
For the ones who lost their way
Lord, let love become the answer
Guide our hearts today

Not by power
Not by gold
Not by promises untold
But by hearts that choose to see
Every soul we choose to see

Put Your mercy in our eyes
Put Your kindness in our hands
Teach us all to love our neighbor
Just as You have planned
For the ones who have so little
For the ones who need a friend
Lord, let love become the answer
Now and to the very end
