"Merciful God" lyrics - THE ROCHES

The yoke
The yoke upon
The yoke upon the neck of the disciple
That neither our fathers nor we are able to bear

Merciful god
This is a prayer

I can
I cannot
I cannot hide my sorrow from my friends and family
Will love have the power to overcome despair

Merciful god
This is a prayer
Be not afraid for the pastures of the wilderness will spring

Someone
Someone told
Someone told me I lost my sense of humor
I did a song and dance that made him laugh till he was scared

Merciful god
This is a prayer
