I can't do this any longer.
I can't go through this again.
I guess this is what it feels like
to finally reach the end.
And so I'm standing
in the ruins;
I'm reaching out to You.
As I'm sifting through these ashes,
All I know to do

Is cry for mercy,
call for grace.
Give me strength to walk through this place.
And let every tear that slips down my face
be a cry for mercy,
a call for grace.

Am I wrestling with Your angels,
or fighting demons of my own?
Either way I'm losing,
and I'm weary to the bone.
But I want to lay this pain down;
I want to finally learn
that You are the one place
thatI can always turn,

to cry for mercy,
call for grace.
Give me strength to walk through this place.
And let every tear that slips down my face
be a cry for mercy,
a call for grace.

Eyes pressed closed to shut out the night.
Heart wide open to let in Your light.
With all my faith, with all my might,
I cry for mercy.

I cry for mercy,
call for grace.
God, give me strength to walk through this place.
Let every tear that slips down my face
be a cry,
and a call.

I hear my mother crying.
Help me Jesus.
I hear my brothers crying, Jesus.
I hear my children crying.
They've been crying.
Save my family, Jesus.

I wasn't ready to say goodbye.
I wasn't ready to let him go.
Welcome him home, Jesus.
Hold him in Your arms, in Your arms, Jesus.
He was a good man,
he was a good man.

Help my Jesus.
Hold me Jesus.
Lift me up, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Help my mother.
Help my brothers.
Hold my children.
