when Your mercy falls

when Your mercy falls like rain
when its so much more than these tears i cry
when hope is gone and the vision too far
here i am, in the arms of a compassionate God.

here i cry to You, mumbled praises from a broken heart
improper prayers interrupted with tears
and You tell me this is how You want it to be
for this prepares me, for what You have in store

when Your grace flows, covering my ugly sins
when the past seemed so much better,
now i learnt to let go. i cant do it all
when the pain comes You are close
closer than these tears.
