Drinking From Mercy's Cup
Drinking From Mercy's Cup
You knocked me so far down
laughed at me like a clown
Shot holes in my many sails
nailed my hands full of nails
Sent dogs so fiercely biting
then gave more not inviting
Hating my sweet loved ones
dropping insults by the tons
You turned my life into hell
cursed me with an evil spell
Took away all my sweetest joy
my mind you tried to destroy
I managed to withstand it all
rose up to stand so very tall
Renewed my faith in true love
pushing back as you shove
My heart found love yet again
after you bolted with a friend
Life erupted, saw a great rebound
again heart and spirit were found
A path made away from your hate
yes, I found it was not too late
I fought to just spring back up
drink joyfully from mercy's cup
