Tender mercies follow me
Down the path
And cross the sea.
Tender mercies set me free
Of all this heartache
Anguish and hostility.
Tender mercies let me be
Happy, pleasant
Full of courtesy.
Tender mercies fill me
Full of grace, calm
And dignity.
Tender mercies now I see
Life and love
Can set me free.
Tender mercies let me be
A better person than
Even I thought I could be!

In my life I’ve had some strife
And crisis, one or two.
Makes no difference
What you feel
It’ll happen to you too.
Bless my heart
I did not come apart
I strove to make
A good life from it too.
So now I see
What happened to me
I believe, was meant to be
To make me
A better person too.
