Mercy

I was drowning in a sea of sorrow, wallowing in self-pity.

I couldn't face one more tomorrow, in this cold and lonely city.

Lost and lonely in my grieving, without any reason to go on with living,

The Lord sent an angel to me.

A dusky, dark-hued wraith, she danced into the room.

Eyes of fire in an angel's face, she danced by the light of the moon.

Sent down to Earth by somebody above, just what I needed to find.

Sent down to me by an angel of love, she found me just in time.

She touched my life and opened my eyes, gave me the will to go on.

Openly honest, without compromise.

No longer all alone.
