The water rose today
The river with the rain
Memories and picture frames
Have floated miles away
Through the wreckage and the mud
The ruins after the flood
She survived at ninety-one
Some would have given up
Drowning in their tears
But on her wrinkled face
A smile appears
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
