Before my lofty roar
Limps out a tepid cry,
We'll Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

Before my stare's through bars
Whose shadows stripe my face,
We'll Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

Before my strength depletes
Limiting all I do,
We'll Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

Before our love gives way
To show the smallest hate,
We'll Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

If our wills should falter
Stalling us from my fate,
Still Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

If our braveness alters
To hesitation's pace,
Still Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

If my voice should stutter,
Words no longer utter,
Still Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

As you sense my time's come,
Don't reconsider dear,
Still Lay My Mercy Down Love,
Lay My Mercy Down...

When I've left your side here,
Love on without a fear.
We've Laid My Mercy Down Love,
Laid My Mercy Down...
