Divine Country Mercy

[Intro]
[Am] The wind is howling through the [C] hollows of the pines
[G] I’m tracing out the spirit in these [E] dusty lines [Am] The sun is sinking low like a [C] heavy weight of gold
[G] Another day of mercy for a [E] weary soul to hold
[Verse]
[Am] The shadows grow long but the [C] light is in my chest
[G] In the quiet of the evening is where [E] I find my rest
(Harmonica wails low and lonesome)
[Am] Say my name
[C] Say my name
[G] Yeah, dats me
[E] Oh yeah
[Verse]
[Am]I wake up in the morning while the [C] dew is on the ground
[G] I listen for the Savior in every [E] single sound
[Am] In the rustle of the leaves and the [C] ripple of the creek
[G] He’s giving me the strength when the [E] flesh is feeling weak
[Am] I don’t need the silver and [C] I don’t need the fame [G]
I’m just a humble servant calling [E] on His name
[Am] Yeah, dats me
[C] Yeah, dats me
[G] Oh yeah
(Violin enters with a slow, haunting melody)
[Am] Every breath I take is a blessing [C] from the throne
[G] I’m walking through the valley but [E] I’m never alone
[Am] Through the hunger and the harvest, through the mud and the mire
He’s the water in the desert and the holy fire
I’m living through the Word and I’m walking in the grace
I see the hand of God in every smiling face
Say my name
Say my name
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
Say my name
Say my name
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
(Harmonica and Violin weave together in a dark, rhythmic breakdown)
The world is getting cold and the night is getting deep
But I got a promise that the Father’s gonna keep
I’m counting every favor like a bird on the wing
I’m finding every reason for a broken heart to sing
The bread on the table and the roof over my head
He’s the path before me and the spirit that I’m fed
Yeah, dats me
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
(The tempo slows down, heavy and stomping)
When the storm comes knocking at the cabin door
I ain’t afraid of the thunder or the lions roar
I built my house on the rock and the holy sand
Held tight in the hollow of a nail-scarred hand
It’s a dark kind of country but the path is bright
When you’re living for the Lord in the middle of the night
Say my name
Say my name
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
Say my name
Say my name
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
(Bridge - Violin gets faster, more frantic, then suddenly drops to a whisper)
One life to live
One soul to save
From the cradle of the garden
To the silence of the grave
It’s all His mercy
It’s all His plan
I’m just a piece of clay
In the Maker’s hand
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
(Harmonica takes a long, fading solo)
Every blessing is a witness, every moment is a gift
In the middle of the struggle, He’s the only lift
I’m rich in the spirit though I’m poor in the purse
Blessed by the blessing and saved from the curse
Yeah, dats me
The one who was blind
Leaving all the darkness and the devil behind
Say my name
Say my name
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
Say my name
Say my name
Yeah, dats me
Oh yeah
(Fade out with a slow, steady drum beat like a heartbeat)
Yeah, dats me
Living through Him
Oh yeah
Amen.
