Verse 1 ~seems that you’ve been walking through a dessert. Sometimes you don’t know how you’ll make it through. You need a miracle from your God today and nothing but a miracle will do. It wasn’t so important when things were going well but now that fiery trial is as hot as well Chorus~Don’t give up, keep on praying, on your knees keep on staying, even though you know those words you’ve heard a million times before. Don’t give up keep on believing and I know you’ll be receiving, don’t give up. God is on His way. Verse 2 ~you used to walk this road out in the sunshine, where the path was so easy to see, but now that night is here and the path is dark you’re not so sure just where you ought to be. But God’s word has never changed and you know He’ll do you right. Don’t doubt now in the darkness what you’ve known while in the light. Chorus~ Bridge~ Friend I don’t know what He has for you, and I don’t know just what He has for me. Take His hand and he’ll see you through. Forever with the Savior we will be. Be blessed receive His grace. Put a smile upon your face. Go on now and win that race. Chorus

Verse 1) Monday morning and I’m down on my knees, I pray it’s going to be a good day. Walk the walk and talk the talk. In between I’ll find time to pray. But then that situation arose. And I don’t know just how it could be, that I said all of those things that I did. Oh Lord have mercy on me. ` Chorus; Oh Lord have mercy on me. I’m tossed about just like the waves of the sea. (Unison)Turning, churning like the waves of the sea…Oh Lord have mercy on me. Music Interlude (the music of the chorus) Guitar Verse 2) (back up ooh’s) I’m driving down out through the country, with the wind blowing through my hair. I know I’m cruising just a little too fast, but who in the world way out here’s gonna care. But then I see a light flashing red white and blue with a siren just as loud as can be. Officer would you please have a heart and Oh Lord have mercy on me? Chorus; Oh Lord have mercy on me. I’m tossed about just like the waves of the sea. (Unison)Turning, churning like the waves of the sea…Oh Lord have mercy on me. Music Interlude (the music of the chorus x 2) Sax then piano Verse 3) Lord how I remember, how you spoken to me, If I’d open my mouth, that you’d fill it for free. Humbly walk and I’ll show you the way. So that’s what I’ll do Lord, I’ll do it today. But just when it seems like there’s not that much to it. I sound like flip Wilson “the devil made me do it” if this is the way that it always will be then, Oh Lord, have mercy on me. Chorus; Oh Lord have mercy on me. I’m tossed about just like the waves of the sea. (Unison)Turning, churning like the waves of the sea…Oh Lord have mercy on me. Chorus) (Accapella) Oh Lord have mercy on me. I’m tossed about just like the waves of the sea. Turning, churning like the waves of the sea…Oh Lord have mercy on me. Chorus :( music returns) Oh Lord, take a hold of my hand. Help me to walk. Teach me to stand. Make me to be everything I can be. Oh Lord have mercy on me. Tag: (ooh) Yesterday’s gone, thank goodness for me ;( ooh) Today, well I’ll just wait to see (ooh) Tomorrow, just might be a strike three? Lord have mercy on me.
