Mercy Lyrics

Its my reason for loving and my reason for caring
I wish you could see it my way
Its self reassuring, I admit I take pride in knowing
that at least my soul is saved
And I love my religion
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e62633-brian_webb~mercy_lyrics.html ]
Its my reason, Oh I love this religion

It's my reason for caring, I've seen it on TV
it seems this world can be tough
But in this competition for salvation
I truly believe I've been good enough

And I love my religion, Oh, I love this religion

It's something to hold in my hands
It's something to call all my own
Well maybe I love out of fear,
But can't you see the value here
I'll never have to feel...

And I love this religion, I love my religion

Well, I talk and talk and talk and talk
I pray and pray and pray that this would get through to you
Cause I've built my self-worth on knowing how many people
think and believe just like I do

And I love my religion, oh, I love this religion

Break me down, tear me down,
can you become just what you have hated
Break me down, tear me down
I can't see beneath what I have created
I'm up too high

Well, the blessing of wisdom is a burden
but the burden begets a blessed decision
I found a beautiful, loving, and merciful God
who forgave my man-made religion

And I love this grace, this love, and I love.
