Mercy in the Midnight Hours

Mercy in the Midnight Hours **Verse 1:** Lord, I’m trembling in the shadows of your fire I’m worn down to the bone, and my soul is growing tired Every breath feels like a battle I can barely hold And the night keeps getting heavier than anything I’ve known **Pre‑Chorus:** How long must I wait here Drowning in my own tears Reach into this breaking heart And pull me from my fear **Chorus:** Have mercy on me in the midnight hours Heal the aching places where my strength sours Turn to me, deliver me, lift me from the pain Only by your love can I rise again You hear my cry, you take my hand And in your mercy I can stand **Verse 2:** I’ve been flooding all my pillows with the weight I hide Every tear a quiet witness to the war inside My eyes are dim with sorrow, every hope feels thin But you are still the one who calls me back to life again **Pre‑Chorus:** You hear every whisper You see every fracture And when the darkness presses in Your love becomes my answer **Chorus:** Have mercy on me in the midnight hours Heal the aching places where my strength sours Turn to me, deliver me, lift me from the pain Only by your love can I rise again You hear my cry, you take my hand And in your mercy I can stand **Bridge:** Let the wicked fade away Let their shadows lose their sway For you have heard my weeping You have answered when I prayed **Final Chorus:** Have mercy on me in the midnight hours Heal the aching places where my strength sours Turn to me, deliver me, lift me from the pain Only by your love can I rise again You hear my cry, you take my hand And in your mercy I can stand
