Mercy
Divine Mercy Unveiled: Kathy Troccoli's Heartfelt Plea and Surrender
Lyrics
I'm at the end, I'm on my knees
I find myself at a low point, humbled and in a state of prayer.
Weighted down by all my need
Weighed down by various burdens and needs.

And yet, Your love still broke my fall
Your love, despite my delay, still supports and saves me.
