The Dunaways

Lyrics

VERSE 1
I felt the cold pain of rejection
The hurt devastated me
Dreams that never left my pillow
Tears that soaked in deep
I cried in my frustration
I wondered where He was
His word revealed the cause

CHORUS
Sometimes mercy hurts
And I fall to my knees
Makes me cry and reach for God
Then I let go of me
Makes me hunger for a place
I have never been
And I've come to understand
Why sometimes mercy hurts

VERSE 2
When we said goodbye
I felt the sky fall down on me
Didn't think I could live through it
Oh but Jesus rescued me
I struggled in my circumstance
Fought biterness and failed
Then I saw the truth unvailed

CHORUS AGAIN

BRIDGE
Only God can see the future
And the trouble I'd find there
I know He's watching out for me
His mercy shows He cares

CHORUS AGAIN
