A poor man on the corner
I could give to You by buying him lunch
But I rarely think about it
‘Cause I got a little but it’s not that much

And I pray Lord, won’t You help me?
And give me a little bit more for myself
And You say, 'Child, won’t you let me
Take all that you got and give you a little real wealth?'

And I don’t know what You want, or what You see in my life
And I don’t know what You mean, and how You could be glorified
And I’m not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy in me, Your mercy in me, yeah

A young girl in an old house
With three kids and another on the way
She’s in desperate need of some new clothes
But I keep my old ones and tell her I’ll pray for her

But Your heart breaks for those kids
And that child of a mom who is one of Your own
When a few gifts and a little time
Is another crown I could lay at the feet of Your throne

And I don’t know what You want or what You see in my life
And I don’t know what You mean and how You could be glorified
And I’m not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy in me, Your mercy in me, yeah

And I don’t know what You want or what You see in my life
And I don’t know what You mean and how You could be glorified
And I’m not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy, mercy in me

And I don’t know what You want or what You see in my life
And I don’t know what You mean and how You could be glorified
And I’m not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy, mercy in me, Your mercy in me, yeah

Your mercy, mercy in me,
