I ran away from love,
This lonely road I trod
Walking by myself
In the light of the love of God.
 [bad word] lay your mercy down on me,
We'll take a walk and reason, [bad word] lay your mercy down on me
Everything in its own due [bad word] lay your mercy down on me, [bad word] lay your mercy down on me.

Though the flesh may get weak,
The heart don't get weary.
Are you [bad word] and refresh me? [bad word] lay your mercy down on me,
When I'm old and [bad word] lay your mercy down on me,
We'll give Jah the thanks and praise.

Oh, when I thirst,
You're there to fill my cup.
You give me strength to dance
In the light of the love of Jah.
 [bad word] lay your mercy down on me,
I said, I'm not a wealthy [bad word] lay your mercy down on me,
I said I hope that you [bad word] lay your mercy down on me.
You got [bad word] lay your mercy down on me.

Mercy, oh.
