On your own, it seems like you're all alone,
Hard to imagine this place you call home,
It's more than I could take,
No one to turn to for the hunger pain,
How could this happen: life passing you by'

Oh Lord, if we begin to love and look for a way to show this world that there's hope today,
If we have the heart that lends a hand, God will bless this merciful man.

Worlds apart is yours from mine,
You're a victim, your place in time,
Oh, you can never choose, only dreaming,
Your world's been used,
I know, trading places, your tears would feel the same.

Oh, in Jesus' name, can we begin to love and look for a way to show this world that there's hope today'
If we have the heart that lends a hand, God will bless this merciful man.

Standing there, young and fragile,
Your eyes leave nothing to say,
Holding on, weak and broken,
Oh, you got to make it through the day,
Let's look for a way.

Yeah, can we begin to love and look for a way to show this world that there's hope today'
If we have the heart that lends a hand, God will bless this merciful man.

This merciful man
