"Mercy on the Bridge"
[Emotional rock song with gritty verses and a powerful uplifting chorus. Starts reflective with guitar, builds into strong rock groove. Story-driven vocals, dramatic atmosphere, hopeful Christian message, expressive guitar solo before the final chorus.]
(Verse 1)
She was crying when I saw her
On a cold and windy day
Standing on a bridge in Frisco
Watching gray waves in the bay
I said hold on just a minute
Please don't throw your life away
You're too young to lose tomorrow
There’s another road to take.
(Chorus)
When the world says you're alone
And the night won’t let you go
There’s a light beyond the sorrow
More than you could ever know
You don’t need the whiskey and rye
You don’t need to numb the pain
There’s a mercy waiting for you
Calling out your name..
(Verse 2)
We drove quiet through the city
Neon lights and empty streets
She said life had turned against her
Knocked her down in defeat
I said sometimes broken moments
Are where grace begins to rise
Even in the darkest midnight
Heaven still sees your eyes.
(Chorus)
When the world says you're alone
And the night won’t let you go
There’s a light beyond the sorrow
More than you could ever know
You don’t need the whiskey and rye
You don’t need to numb the pain
There’s a mercy waiting for you
Calling out your name.
(Bridge)
Every soul can lose direction
Every heart can lose its way
But no storm can hide forever
The promise of a brighter day.
(Guitar Solo)
(Final Chorus)
When the world says you're alone
And the night won’t let you go
There’s a light beyond the sorrow
More than you could ever know
You don’t need the whiskey and rye
You don’t need to drown the pain
There’s a Savior standing with you
In the dark and in the rain
(Outro)
And the bridge that almost broke her
Became the place she found her way.
