Merciful God Lyrics - The Roches

The yoke 

The yoke 

The yoke upon 

The yoke upon the neck 

The yoke upon the neck of the disciple 

That neither our fathers 

Nor we are able to bear 

The yoke 

The yoke 

The yoke upon 

The yoke upon the neck 

The yoke upon the neck of the disciple 

That neither our fathers 

Nor we are able to bear 

Merciful God 

This is a prayer 

Merciful God 

This is a prayer 

I can 

I cannot 

I cannot hide 

I cannot hide my sorrow 

I cannot hide my sorrow from my friends and family 

Will love have the power 

To overcome despair 

Be not afraid for the pastures 

Of the wilderness will spring 

Be not afraid for the pastures 

Of the wilderness will spring 

Be not afraid 

Be not afraid 

Be not afraid 

Merciful God 

This is a prayer 

Merciful God 

This is a prayer 

Someone 

Someone told 

Someone told me 

Someone told me, I lost 

Someone told me, I lost my sense of humor 

Someone 

Someone told 

Someone told me 

Someone told me, I lost 

Someone told me, I lost my sense of humor 

I did a song and dance that made him laugh 

Till he was scared 

Merciful God 

This is a prayer 

Merciful God 

This is a prayer
