Small Mercies

[Intro]
[Verse]
Kitchen light is flickering low
Counting every cent I owe
Fridge is empty, feeling slow
Whispering "where do I go?"
Kneeling on the linoleum floor
Praying by the pantry door
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows tried to pull me down
Silence was the only sound
But I felt a holy fire
Lifting up my soul's desire
[Chorus]
He kept the lights on
When the hope was gone
A stranger bought the bread
My babies were all fed
That is a small mercy
Lord, You are so worthy
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the mercy
Sweet, sweet mercy
Flowing down on me
Setting my spirit free
[Verse]
Tuesday at the grocery line
Card declined for the third time
I was crying, losing my mind
Looking for a silver sign
Lady reached out with her hand
Paid it like she had a plan
[Pre-Chorus]
My daughter gave a little hug
Pulling on my heavy rug
Said "Momma, don't you worry"
God isn't in a hurry
[Chorus]
He kept the lights on
When the hope was gone
A stranger bought the bread
My babies were all fed
That is a small mercy
Lord, You are so worthy
[Breakdown]
No more fear in the dark
He provided every spark
From the valley to the peak
Strength for the tired and weak
Yes, He did
I know He did
[Bridge]
I have seen the mountain move
Nothing left for me to prove
Hallelujah in the pouring rain
Glory in the middle of pain
He is the rock I claim
Blessed be His holy name
[Chorus]
He kept the lights on
When the hope was gone
A stranger bought the bread
My babies were all fed
That is a small mercy
Lord, You are so worthy
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the mercy
Sweet, sweet mercy
Flowing down on me
Setting my spirit free
[Outro]
