this song speaks to the heart of many in this day and age. when things go our way, do we ever think of others... The theme of this song is to show mercy to those who sometimes fall...God Bless!

The gift of mercy

When things go our way
do we think of others
through the day our lives
can take a drastic turn
with everything gone
that we did earn
the applause may fade away
bringing challenges
for another day

chorus
the needs are easy to see
that require the gift of mercy
the needs are easy to see
that require the gift of mercy

take a moment to reflect
on the many needs
that have to be met
when the homeless search
for a face thats kind
and when a bowl of soup
for many is hard to find
don't you see may friend
that shame is the legacy
of a fool
chorus
the needs are easy to see
that require the gift of mercy
the needs are easy to see
that require the gift of mercy

our days on earth
are like a vapour in time
and the greatest mentor
who was quite divine
showed mercy to all
who sometimes fall
who sometimes fall
and when these days end
how many will call you a friend
with joy thats second to none
when our maker, says, 'well done'
when our maker says, 'well done'

the needs are easy to see
that require the gift of mercy
the gift of mercy
the gift of mercy
