Mercy So Tender

I see a mama bird
She sitting on a windowpane
The rain is a coming down
The middle of a storm
Her wings are trembling
The winds try to take her
But she’ll stay forever
To keep her babies warm

When I see the goodness
Of the Lord up above
It’s there with a mother
Her heart full of love
When everything is failing
And I feel broken down
His mercy so tender
When I look around

I see a lady and a baby girl
They’re standing in line
They’ve waited for hours
It’s the best circus ride
at the end of the waiting
Her little face starts to shine
Worth more to her momma
Than all the pennies and dimes

When I see the goodness
Of the Lord up above
It’s there with a mother
Her heart full of love
When everything is failing
And I feel broken down
His mercy so tender
When I look around

I see a girl at a doorway
She stares at the sign
It’s telling her slowly
To make up her mind
They’ll take her little baby
To a good loving home
She hopes he’ll be safe there
She can’t raise him alone

When I see the goodness
Of the Lord up above
It’s there with a mother
Her heart full of love
When everything is failing
And I feel broken down
His mercy so tender
When I look around
His mercy so tender
When I look around
