You require mercy

You require mercy

You desire our love

For Justice and compassion

And You will be enough.

To make your more sure word our guide

Abide in us as we abide

Dwell within us here inside

So tabernacle in our hearts as above.

A battered reed will be restored

Though crushed and abused

Jesus mends the broken

He restores the bruised.

You require mercy

You desire our love

For Justice and compassion

And You will be enough.

To make your more sure word our guide

Abide in us as we abide

Dwell within us here inside

So tabernacle in our hearts as above.

The smoldíring wick he will not quench

He will fan into flame itís ember

Till the fiery holocaust of faith

Engulfs us as we remember.

You require mercy

You desire our love

For Justice and compassion

And You will be enough.

Youíll make your more sure word our guide

Abide in us as we abide

Dwell within us here inside

So tabernacle in our hearts as above.
