Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister
While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister
While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me
When we gather round a brother, who is lying on a bed of pain
Where praying Lord wont you lift him up, and take his burden away
Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister
While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me
For the children caring for their parents, for the mother worrying about her child
Were praying Lord wont you lift them up, and give them peace for awhile
Lord have mercy on the children
Lord have mercy on the parents
While i'm praying for all of these
Lord have mercy on me
When Im calling Lord, Lord, I wont be calling in vain
When the waters of trouble ae rising up, Im calling your name
Lord have mercy on my brother, Lord have mercy on my sister
While im praying down on my knees, Lord have mercy on me
