Christian Hip Hop & Rap Song Lyrics
Mercy On Me Lyrics by Sho Baraka ft. Chinua Hawk
Hook (Chorus)
(Chinua Hawk)
Lord, Lord you know I tried/
When I should have been strong I cried/
When I should have helped I walked on by/
When I should have told the truth I straight up lied/
I know your love has set me free/
But I keep on putting you back on that tree/
Oh Lord, Have your mercy on me/
Loving father put your grace on me, on me/
2nd thru 4th Chorus addition
Put Grace on me, on me (repeat 3x)
Loving Father
Put your Mercy on me, on me (repeat 3x)
Loving Father
Put your Mercy on me, on me
Verse 1
Tre's nerves are bubbling, juggling jobs, avoid hustling/
Hard trusting in God- because now he's struggling/
TV's throwing lust at him, Corners boys punking him/
Wife wants to fuss with him, LORD keep touching him/
He might return to street life, But he'll fight will all he can/
Cause if they test him again, He would hate to have kill a man/
The pressure he can't handle it, he's lost ways to channel it/
He might black out, then he ends up back in anger management/
His common problem is his values aren't- matching his wallet/
He's praying but still jobless, his faith used to keep him honest/
He's got visions of bad decisions that are void of the godly wisdom/
So this one bad decision will most likely land him in prison/
So a week from now, He'll be at a bank in town/
He'll be yelling get down, with some other clowns, waving a gun around/
He'll succeed ducking the cops and leaving with profits/
But he'll have problems dodging all the guilt that's working on his conscience/
Verse 2
Jane feeling the pain, like razors are in her vain/
Last year the cancer came, and now her life has changed/
Chemo and pain killers, the disdain gets realer/
Her Hope becomes thinner, from all the news that they give her/
She taking the news with caution, 'cause she knows the Lord is awesome/
But often she pauses, of the losses and of what death cost us/
Is it worth fighting she nauseous, plus the hospital charges/
She's heard there's light in the tunnel but all she sees is Darkness/
No one is feeling her burden, they just keep giving her sermons/
If they listened with more discernment, they could tell that she's hurting/
Her speech is just an illusion, she's scared of the end conclusion/
If she shares her doubt- she feels her image may be ruined/
Shes holding her fears in, tears in, She'll be dead by years end/
Shes not thinking through how God forgives sins/
Until then her nights are long, as she is faking strong/
In the corner of her heart, This will be her song, sing /
Verse 3
How often we go thru the motions, up and down rollercoasting/
Scared to admit were hurting, nervous thoughts of perversion/
This culture we've built is perfect, were saying his death was worthless/
Not to concerned with His worship as along as we do our churchin/
We're decorating our person, just to continue lies/
Or shortcomings we hide is with a shallow disguise/
To prove we got it together, to make it seem like were better/
Than friends, fam, whoever, we take some extreme measures/
We have a desire to add, to the grace that we have/
We're never content with our lives, we operate in pride/
We hate to seem dependent, but that's the way that He intended/
Humans made in His image, built to live in the tension/
Learn wisdom, we were distant his love we didn't deserve it/
We confess that we're worthless, then break our backs to earn it/
Without you I'm, helpless, weak, my existence is bleak/
I refuse to proceed without Your grace and mercy on me/
