A Song for Mercy

I wrote this song. The silent prayer of the wounded man that Jesus talked about in the parable of the good Samaritan and the woman caught in adultery. Would we have had mercy? I hope so.



Don’t Walk On By - © 2006. Armando Heredia

Please don’t walk on by
Please don’t cross to the other side
I’m lying here, broken and bruised
I only need one thing from you

Have mercy man, I think I’ve been robbed
Never saw it coming, took me by surprise
I’ve been walking down the wrong road
And now I’m here dying without hope

Would you walk on by without compassion?
Would you cross to the other side and
Not give from what you’ve been given?
I only need one thing from you

Have Mercy

Have Mercy On Me

Carry me away to a safe place
Don’t leave me here without His Grace
I’m lying here, broken and bruised
I only need one thing from you

Have mercy
Have mercy on me

Have mercy God, I think I’ve been robbed
Never saw it coming, took my by surprise
Naked and ashamed, exposed to the world
Trembling until I heard your words

I’ll have mercy
Have mercy on you

Let him with no sin cast the first stone
You bent down, drawing in the sand
The rocks falling to the ground
They walked away with empty hands
Because You said,

I’ll have mercy
Have mercy on you

Carry me away to a safe place
Don’t leave me here without Your Grace
I’m kneeling here, broken and bruised
I only need one thing from You

Have mercy
Have mercy on me

-Armando
