Love and Mercy - Grace VanderWaal

Oh Lord, You're my Shepherd You make me lie in fields of green You lead me by the still waters You restore righteousness to me Though I walk through the valley I will fear no evil thing For You are with me And You comfort me Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Oh Lord, You're my Shepherd You make me lie in fields of green You lead me by the still waters You restore righteousness to me Though I walk through the valley I will fear no evil thing For You are with me, God And You comfort me, You comfort me Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Oh yeah, wherever I go, wherever I go Surely goodness and mercy I'm gonna dwell in the house of the Lord forever I said I'm gonna dwell in the house of the Lord forever Sing it with me one time I'm gonna dwell in the house of the Lord forever Yes, I will I'm gonna dwell in the house of the Lord forever Wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go Surely goodness, love and mercy Will follow wherever I go

The day begins to blur Under this bruised light Within the beast still stirs Am I unfit to guide? And now I'm weeping towards the sky For what seeps back into the earth Are we not supposed to love In fear of losing someone? Are we too afraid to feel Too many wounds to heal? Will they ever heal? Will they ever heal? 'Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no We don't need this pain and this suffering, no Just a little mercy No No, no You cannot live the life The life left behind you You cry out loud with all your might But no one will hear you There will be desolation We will throw ourselves into the fire But the sooner love is gone The ghosts will begin to haunt But I know the beauty lies In the dawn's early light Well, it gives and gives in healing waves But that's not enough No, it's not enough 'Cause we don't need this pain and this suffering, no We don't need this pain and this suffering, no Just a little mercy No No Just a little mercy Just a little mercy Just a little mercy

I wanna wake up In dream, dream, dream Where the air is soft To breathe, breathe, breathe Hold on and don't let go If we fall down, then you should know That we could just be Blowing florets I want to dance in the air Blowing florets And just not care about anyone or anything But you and me So don't let go of me Don't let go of me I wanna rise up, with the trees, trees, trees And let go of all responsibilities And we could just be Blowing florets I want to dance in the air Blowing florets And just not care about anyone or anything But you and me So don't let go of me Don't let go of me Wherever the wind blows Ever the wind blows Don't let go Wherever the wind blows Ever the wind blows Don't let go Blowing florets I wanna dance in the air Blowing florets And just not care about anyone or anything But you and me Don't let go of me, oh oh, oh oh Don't let go of me Don't let go of me Wherever the wind blows Ever the wind blows Don't let go Wherever the wind blows Ever the wind blows Don't let go

We were hanging with your rich kid city friends Ones that I don't know Not sure what to say, say it anyway It isn't how I thought it'd go And even if I'm faking it Pretending to be confident I'm pathetic, I'll admit Asking Would you call me a poser? Or would you call me a friend? After all that I told you Was this time well spent? I don't know what this meant Did you take me here just to show me off To that girl you used to know? Everybody here is looking at me weird So I just put on a show And even if I'm faking it Pretending to be confident I'm pathetic, I'll admit For asking Would you call me a poser? Or would you call me a friend? After all that I told you Was this time well spent? I don't, I don't, I don't... And who am I kidding If I can't convince myself? And who are you kidding If I was there for someone else? On the train home I'll stare at my phone To hide my thoughts of what I might know Would I call you a poser? Are we more than just friends? After all that I told you Was this time well spent? I don't know what this meant What this meant I don't, I don't, Don't know what this meant I wish I could fall into your love But love is so overrated I wish I could fall into your love I really hope I don't mess you up And you don't mess me up And I don't mess you up I hope I don't mess you up
