How Mercy Looks From Here Lyrics - How Mercy Looks From Here - Amy Grant

The water rose today, 

The river with the rain 

Memories and picture frames 

Are floating miles away. 

Through the wreckage and the mud, 

The ruins after the flood, 

She survived at 91, hmm 

Some would have given up 

Drowning in their tears 

But on her wrinkled face 

A smile appeared. 

When you face your greatest fear 

Losing all that you hold near 

Open up your eyes my dear, 

Oh how mercy looks from here. 

The call I couldn't take, 

Unbearable mistakes 

A brilliant mind that fades away 

A baby doll beside the grave 

When you face your greatest fear 

Losing all that you hold near 

Open up your eyes my dear 

Oh how mercy looks from here. 

I would have given up, drowning in my tears 

If it wasn't for your voice all these years 

When you face your greatest fear 

Losing all that you hold near 

Open up your eyes my dear 

My dear 

That's when boundless grace appears 

Unseen angels hover near 

Saints are singing loud and clear 

Oh how mercy looks from here. 

Oh how mercy looks from here. 

Oh how mercy looks from here. 

Oh how mercy looks from here. 

The water rose today
