Oh Lord, Have Mercy On My Soul
London 15^th June 1997

When the river flows above me
And the wind is in my hair,
When the flowers of the valley
Have closed in frosty air,
When the ship pulls in the harbour
And the room is safely closed,
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul.

When the shadow of the morning
Lies heavy in my sleep,
When all I have is given
I got nothing left to keep,
When this side of heaven
My heart is sad and cold,
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul.

All the world is bright and strange without you,
And I'm scared to look and see what I might find;
I could never close a door against you,
And I could never quite drive you from my mind.

When the starry sky above me
Rains down its sacred spears,
I number those who love me
And count their salty tears,
When the storm clouds in the heavens
Take their final toll,
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul.
