When the road is winding through the darkness,
And the load is heavy as your heart is now,
And you're full of doubt,

When your prayers are crashing into silence,
And you're scared that everything you're crying out,
Is gonna hit the ground,

Every night is holding back a sunrise,
Every storm, shadowing a blue sky,
I know it's hard,
When there's nothing else you can do,
So let mercy hold you,

It's in the midst of knowing that you're helpless,
When you're left, waiting for the promise,
And you don't understand,

So let the valley teach you how to sing,
And still believe, grace is everything you need,
It's only here you'll see,

Every night is holding back a sunrise,
Every storm, shadowing a blue sky,
I know it's hard,
When there's nothing else you can do,
So let mercy hold you,

There's a cross, reaching to the furthest place,
There's a love nothing in the world can change,
In it all, one thing will carry you through,
So let mercy hold you,

Joy is coming with the morning,
You just gotta wait for the dawn to break,
Joy is coming with the morning,
Don't lose hope,

Every night is holding back a sunrise,
Every storm, shadowing a blue sky,
I know it's hard,
When there's nothing else you can do,

There's a cross, reaching to the furthest place,
There's a love nothing in the world can change,
In it all, one thing will carry you through,
So let mercy hold you,

Let mercy hold you,
One thing will carry you through,
Just let mercy hold you,
Just let mercy hold you.
