Mason Jar Mercy

Mason Jar Mercy

[Verse 1]

Mama kept a jar

On the windowsill

Full of small prayers

She said, "Baby, be still"

I wore my worry

Like Sunday shoes

But the floor was shaking

And I heard good news

[Pre-Chorus]

Something in me said

Hold on, hold on

Even broken hands

Can carry a song

[Chorus]

Mercy, come close

Mercy, come close

You found me here

You found me here

Mercy, come close

Mercy, come close

I was sinking low

Now I’m standing clear

[Verse 2]

Last week I cried

On the kitchen tile

Salt on my face

And it stayed a while

Then that little light

Through the curtain seam

Touched my heavy heart

Like a lifted dream

[Pre-Chorus]

Something in me said

Hold on, hold on

Even tired lungs

Can sing along

[Chorus]

Mercy, come close

Mercy, come close

You found me here

You found me here

Mercy, come close

Mercy, come close

I was sinking low

Now I’m standing clear

[Bridge]

If I forget

You don’t forget me

If I go numb

You still stay near me

Soft as the rain

Hard as a vow

You were with me then

You are with me now

[Chorus]

Mercy, come close

Mercy, come close

You found me here

You found me here

Mercy, come close

Mercy, come close

I was sinking low

Now I’m standing clear
