  • The water rose today,
    The river with the rain
    Memories and picture frames
    Are floating miles away.
    Through the wreckage and the mud,
    The ruins after the flood,
    She survived at 91, hmm

    Some would have given up
    Drowning in their tears
    But on her wrinkled face
    A smile appeared.

    When you face your greatest fear
    Losing all that you hold near
    Open up your eyes my dear,
    Oh how mercy looks from here.

    The call I couldn't take,
    Unbearable mistakes
    A brilliant mind that fades away
    A baby doll beside the grave

    When you face your greatest fear
    Losing all that you hold near
    Open up your eyes my dear
    Oh how mercy looks from here.

    I would have given up, drowning in my tears
    If it wasn't for your voice all these years

    When you face your greatest fear
    Losing all that you hold near
    Open up your eyes my dear
    My dear

    That's when boundless grace appears
    Unseen angels hover near
    Saints are singing loud and clear
    Oh how mercy looks from here.
    Oh how mercy looks from here.

    Oh how mercy looks from here.
    Oh how mercy looks from here.
