hymn #18 2026 - mercy for us (B) (Tenor)

1] Homes are built on living stone, And the measure of your grief Rests in His care; And you, you wear your iron thorns, Yet deep in the heart reborn, Faith sings there. ### [bridge] Who calls you family? I do, my kin, I do. Let me wrap my arms around your neck; There is mercy enough for two, There is mercy enough for two. ### [verse 2] How swift does the flesh turn to wandering, O heir of the line; When you’re angry, angry, angry At the providence divine. ### [bridge] Who calls you family? I do, my kin, I do. Let me wrap my arms around your neck; There is mercy enough for two, There is mercy enough for two. ### [intermission] Here comes the world with its malice, The accuser that prowls in the teeth of the night; We will stand at the gate and endure, For our hope is not built on ourselves tonight, Not ourselves tonight. ### [bridge] Who calls you family? I do, my kin, I do. Let me wrap my arms around your neck; There is mercy enough for two, There is mercy enough for two.
